The Canadiens will be looking to turn things around on Wednesday night.
TICKETS: Ottawa @ Montreal 🎟️
2. As of Wednesday morning, there were no changes to the training camp roster. Remember that after Sunday’s Red vs. White intrasquad scrimmage, four players were cut from camp and sent back to their respective Junior clubs. No further moves have been made, leaving 68 players still in play.
The Canadiens enjoyed a day off on Tuesday, so we’ll have to wait until activities resume on Wednesday to find out the team’s lineup to face the Senators.
3. Wednesday’s game not only gives the Habs the chance to get their first exhibition win, but it’s also an opportunity for them to hand their divisional rivals their first loss of the preseason, as the Sens are undefeated in two contests against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday and Monday. The Canadiens could get their first looks at Vladimir Tarasenko and Dominik Kubalik in Ottawa colors. Kubalik made his presence known on Sunday, scoring his first goal in a Sens jersey and earning himself the nod for third star of the game.
4. Reminder that the new format for the 50/50 draw to benefit the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation debuted at the Bell Centre on Monday. A new “early bird” concept was launched for the preseason. So, for each game until the regular season home opener on October 14 – whether at home or on the road – a prize will be drawn. As well, your 50/50 ticket is eligible for all subsequent draws from the time of purchase until October 14. Buy your ticket quickly to get more chances to win a prize! Last point: the big jackpot won’t be divvied up for each preseason game; rather, the total will be pooled into a mega prize that will be drawn on October 14.
