KEY TO VICTORY
The Canadiens will hit the ice for their second game within 24 hours on Wednesday night when they pay a visit to the nation’s capital to take on the Ottawa Senators.
Michel Therrien’s team will be gunning for a fifth-consecutive victory after downing the Winnipeg Jets Tuesday night at the Bell Centre by a score of 4-3. Brendan Gallagher, Raphael Diaz and Andrei Markov each picked up two points in the win. Helping to level the playing field, the Senators were also in action Tuesday night, logging a win of their own by toppling the visiting Washington Capitals 3-2.
The Habs will look to stay hot in Ottawa, hoping the success they enjoyed last year against the Senators will carry over into the 2012-13 season. Having netted wins in four of their six games against the Sens in their last campaign, the Montreal squad still managed to extract a point from their two losses, taking the game into a shootout on both occasions.
