Final
Senators aim to continue strong start
Oct 18, 2007 - 2:27 PM Montreal (2-1-2) at Ottawa (6-1-0) 7:30 pm EDTOTTAWA (Ticker) -- The Ottawa Senators will try to continue their strong start when they welcome in the Montreal Canadiens for a Northeast Division matchup on Thursday.
Dany Heatley, Chris Phillips and Patrick Eaves all scored a goal in a team-record 52 seconds in Saturday's win for Ottawa, which bounced back from its first loss of the campaign, defeating the New York Rangers 3-1.
The majority of Ottawa's success can be traced to goaltender Martin Gerber, who has managed a 4-1-0 record against Montreal in five career outings. He has a NHL-leading five wins with a 1.99 goals-against average this season.
The Canadiens suffered their second straight loss with Tuesday's 2-1 shootout to Florida Panthers after netminder Cristobal Huet allowed the tying goal with 11 seconds left in regulation.
Montreal's offense enters struggling to find the back of the net, scoring just two goals combined in each of its past two outings.
The Senators went 5-3-0 in the season series last year, including going 3-1-0 here.
