Samsonov: a fresh new start?

Sergei Samsonov will be back in the lineup tonight versus the Ottawa Senators at the Bell centre. Samsonov missed 3 games being a healthy scratch, coach Carbonneau was really tired of Samsonov's weak performances in term of offensive production (22 points in 53 games) and cutted him of the lineup. After his agent claimed a trade, GM Bob Gainey sent Samsonov to the waivers, nobody picked him and the agent had to shut up a bit. So after a constructive meeting as everybody said after the meeting between the whole staff and Samsonov lets see if his offensive output will increase.

Also back in the lineup tonight: Andrei Markov and Steve Begin.

Can the Habs turn it around and start a winning streak?
