MONTREAL — The Habs are looking to sweep series against the Ottawa Senators, as they take to the ice at 7 p.m. Wednesday evening.
In a playoff series marked by chippy play and close finishes, Montreal brings all the momentum against a team many regard as hockey’s hottest.
Recently Montreal Canadiens coach Michel Therrien announced that blueliner Nathan Beaulieu is a scratch with an upper body injury following a hit by Sens captain Erik Karlsson. Therrien has tapped rookie Greg Pateryn to replace him.
Beaulieu, 22, has one assist in three playoff games. He had one goal and eight assists in 64 regular-season games.
