Heineman and Caufield Lead Montreal Canadiens to Win Against Ottawa Senators

Saturday, October 12th, 2024

Emil Heineman and Cole Caufield found the back of the net early, propelling the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-1 win against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.

Alex Newhook increased Montreal's advantage to 3-0 at the start of the third period before Tim Stutzle managed to break Sam Montembeault's pursuit of a second straight shutout. Caufield sealed the outcome by netting his second goal of the evening and fourth for the season.

Mike Matheson had a chance with a penalty shot, but Linus Ullmark successfully blocked it.

The Canadiens outperformed in special team situations, with Heineman scoring during a power play, and Montreal capitalizing on one out of four power-play chances. Ottawa did not score on any of their four opportunities.

A pivotal point occurred in the second period when the Senators outshot the Canadiens 12-3, putting Montembeault, who only faced four shots in the first period, under significant pressure.

Heineman's first NHL goal during the power play also marked Montreal’s third power-play goal in their initial three regular-season contests.

Looking ahead, the Senators will face the Los Angeles Kings at home on Monday, while the Canadiens prepare to host the Pittsburgh Penguins.
