- First Period
- The Canadiens began the period getting into penalty trouble, as Tomas Plekanec would get penalized for goaltender interference on Sens goalie, Craig Anderson. With a minute gone into the powerplay, Jakob Silfverberg snipes one past Carey Price over his left shoulder. The Canadiens would respond back in less than a minute, David Desharnais skates in front of the Ottawa net and tips the shot from Max Pacioretty between the legs of Anderson. Midway into the first, PK Subban receives an assist as Erik Cole picks up the lose puck in front of the net and back hands it, making it 2-1 Canadiens heading into the second.
- Montreal - 13 Shots On Goal
- Ottawa - 6 Shots On Goal
- Second Period
- The second period really showed each teams ability to handle the puck in the offensive zone. Both teams taking 3 penalties each but none could convert as the second period was all credited to the goaltenders on both sides. No goals coming in the second period.
- Montreal - 13 Shots On Goal
- Ottawa - 16 Shots On Goal
- Third Period
- The Senators really took momentum away from the Canadiens in the third period as they held the puck in the Canadiens for quite some time. The Sens were taking advantage of loose pucks and driving to the Canadiens net to create some sort of goal opportunity to tie the game. Andre Benoit did put a puck past Carey Price from the point, but it was waived off as Silfverberg was called for goaltender interference. It was really a bad call by the referee and should have counted as a goal tying the game at 2-2, but the referee made his decision final. The Canadiens would go on to win the game and move themselves up in the standings.
- Montreal - 7 Shots On Goal
- Ottawa = 11 Shots On Goal
