Senators Preview

Ottawa enters this matchup at 6-5-1 after edging Calgary 4-3 in a shootout. Get our free NHL Picks all season long! The Senators have leaned on balanced scoring and timely saves from Linus Ullmark, who’s expected to start again. Brady Tkachuk continues to lead by example with physical play, while Tim Stützle drives Ottawa’s transition game through the neutral zone.

For Ottawa, special teams execution could determine success. The power play has shown flashes of brilliance, but discipline will be vital against Montreal’s quick-strike counterattack. Ullmark’s poise and rebound control will be tested by the Canadiens’ aggressive forecheck and net-front presence. A fast start could be key to quieting the Bell Centre crowd.

Canadiens Preview

Montreal comes in at 8-3-0 following a 4-3 overtime win against Seattle. The Canadiens have built early-season momentum through depth scoring and improved structure. Samuel Montembeault, confirmed to start in goal, has delivered solid performances, giving Montreal confidence on home ice. Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield remain consistent offensive threats.

Montreal will look to maintain pressure through quick puck movement and smart defensive positioning. Their blue line has effectively joined the rush, creating mismatches and extended zone time. If Montembeault stays sharp and limits second-chance opportunities, the Canadiens can continue their winning form.
