CHEERS

The power plays. Both the Senators and Canadiens struck twice with the man advantage. Brendan Gallagher and P.K. Subban netted goals with the man advantage for Montreal, while Daniel Alfredsson and Mika Zibanejad scored power play goals for Ottawa.

JEERS

Carey Price, Canadiens

Price had his moments, but the Patrick Wiercioch goal came at a bad time, with his team trying to nurse a third-period lead. In the last meeting between the teams, Price allowed a weak goal to Dave Dziurzynski.

WHY THEY LOST

Robin Lehner, Senators

Lehner didn’t have an answer for Alex Galchenyuk and Lars Eller in the shootout, but the goalie magic continues for the Senators. Last time the teams met, Ben Bishop made 44 saves in regulation and extra time. This time, Lehner stopped 42 through three periods and overtime. Lehner outplayed Price, generally considered one of the best netminders in the NHL.

YET ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE HITS

Late in the second, Eric Gryba crossed the Canadiens’ blue-line and was blindsided by Canadiens defenceman Alexei Emelin. Emelin didn’t appear to catch Gryba in the head, but the hit was late. Emelin received an interference penalty and Gryba returned.
