Montreal Canadiens vs Ottawa Senators 1/28/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Montreal Canadiens take on the Ottawa Senators in an NHL Atlantic Division battle at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, on Saturday night.

Montreal (20-25-4) comes into this match-up versus Ottawa after losing two consecutive games including their recent 3-4 overtime loss at home versus the Detroit Red Wings on January 26.

Aside from their depreciating record, the Canadiens’ season just got worse after losing their young star RW Cole Caufield who will be missing the remaining days of the 2022-23 season due to an injured shoulder.

On Thursday, LW Rafael Harvey-Pinard scored two goals with one assist for Montreal.

The bright side of losing Cole Caufield from the Canadiens’ line-up is that the team will have a clearer chance of acquiring the services of Connor Bedard in this year’s NHL Entry Draft.

Montreal is currently diving to the bottom of the NHL ranking and it will give them priority for the draft pick.

Center Nick Suzuki will be getting the load on his shoulder without Caufield with his current record of 16 goals, 22 assists, and 38 points through 49 games played this season.

The Montreal Canadiens are 5-12 straight up in their last 17 outings and 3-6 SU in their last 9 matches played versus Ottawa.

Montreal is 1-7 straight up in its last 8 road games and 2-5 SU in its last 7 contests when playing on the road against the Senators.
