Montreal Canadiens head down highway 417 to play the Ottawa Senators at the Canadien Tire Centre.

Help going the other way: For most of this season, the Canadiens have relied on the Laval Rocket to provide reinforcements for injured players and now they are repaying the favour. Tkachuk scored the only Ottawa goal in regulation. Caufield closes in on 20: Rookie Cole Caufield scored a goal late in Thursday’s loss to the Flyers. It was his 19th goal of the season which is impressive because he had a slow start and he had only one goal when Martin St. Louis replaced Dominique Ducharme as head coach on Feb. 10.

The Senators also honoured Lafleur with a moment of silence. He really was something special on the ice." "If he had something to say he would just say it," Mercier said. The sisters had heard the Senators planned to honour Lafleur and with so many Montreal fans in the building expected it would be special. He was special." "It's very sad news," said Mercier. "He was such a generous guy and always willing to help in any way he can."

Mark Kastelic had a night to remember as he scored his first NHL goal and his second proved to be the game winner for Ottawa.

NOTES: Ottawa's Thomas Chabot returned to the lineup after missing the last 19 games with a fractured hand. "It sucks to lose," said Pitlick. "I think that as a team, and as an athlete, there is that fire and frustration when you lose. "They've been our best line outside of the power play and our big guys scoring and some nice goals," said Smith. "Gambrell's line has been our most consistent over the last little bit here. The Canadiens kept pressing, but Forsberg was solid. But he's a really good player." They're so supportive and just a fun atmosphere to be in." So that's just kind of a funny situation."

Don’t build it so the fight is to find the middle of the pack. His ranking has dropped slightly through the year, but he is still highly ranked. We will have an honest knowledge of that size at the combine in May, but for now he is 5 foot 10 inches or 11 inches. The Americans have another centre that had an excellent start in an 8-3 throttling of Canada. Frank Nazar had two assists in the contest. If he is on the wrong side of 5 foot 10, that would be difficult because then Cooley likely becomes a winger at the NHL level which is sub-optimal. Kaiden Guhle will likely be on the roster next year. It was a two-on-one with Mike Hoffman on the right side and Caufield on the left. It is painful to watch, but the pay-off will be grand. It’s true they traded away Ben Chiarot, and Brett Kulak, but this defence is getting steamrollered night after night and close to the defence they will start next season. There may be a lot of losses in Montreal’s future, but if there is one young scorer and one young talented playmaker, it will be tolerable at least. Credit to the Canadiens as well for not giving up when an absolute rout looked like it was on. Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki have essentially been the only workhorses for a half season.
