Ottawa 8 - Montreal 3

After the last game everyone agreed around the Montreal Canadiens staff that a better performance was needed against the Ottawa Senators to expect a win,but the result was awful for the Habs... ending in a 8-3 schooling.

Losing goaltender Christobal Huet allowed 6 goals and was pulled away from the slaughter in the 2nd period.

Montreal scored 2 quick goals (Higgins and Rivet) as the score was 6-0 for Ottawa to make it 6-2 but it was too little too late.

The 3-game road trip ends with a stop in Detroit to face the Red Wings.
