Thomas Chabot leads all NHL defensemen with 35 points after recording a goal and an assist in Friday’s victory, which followed a stretch during which he was kept off the scoresheet in four of five games. Ryan Dzingel registered a pair of assists Friday, giving him seven points in his last eight contests, while Tierney tallied twice in the win after enduring a 10-game goal-scoring drought. Rookie Brady Tkachuk has gone eight games without a point after posting 16 in the first 14 contests of his NHL career.

Defenseman Jeff Petry is on one of the best runs of his career as he has collected four goals and a pair of assists during a four-game point streak and is tied for third on the team in scoring with 24 points. “I’m finding the net,” Petry told reporters. “It’s frustrating when you hit a post or you miss the net, which is on me, but I knew if I kept shooting, eventually it was going to go in.” Max Domi (team-best 32 points) and linemate Jonathan Drouin (27) each notched an assist on Thursday and have combined for nine points in three games against the Senators this season.

The Canadiens are 0-for-18 on the power play over their last six meetings with the Senators.
