OTTAWA — More pressure will be on the Ottawa Senators when they host the Montreal Canadiens for the second time in two days Thursday at Canadian Tire Centre.Not only will be trying to keep up with the pack www.canucksshoponline.com , but also to show that the corner they had appeared to turn isn’t going to lead them back to their sorry ways.The Senators (12-13-3) could have pulled into a tie for the second wildcard spot with a win in Montreal, but are now in danger of falling six points behind their arch rivals. Fortunately for them, the back-to-back set shifts to a venue where they’ve had much success. Their 9-4-2 home record is one of the best in the NHL.Article continues below ...The 5-2 loss at Bell Centre snapped the Senators winning streak at three games and also saw the return of the shoddy defensive play they were starting to get away from. During the three victories, they had only surrendered five goals. That was big for a team that have allowed more goals and shots against than any other in the league.On Tuesday they broke down in the second period, allowing the Canadiens three unanswered goals in a 3:39 span.“We weren’t quite ready to play right from the start,” center Zack Smith told the Ottawa Sun. “They were better and kept their foot on the grass. It’s only one game. We’re only a few days from paying our best hockey of the year.“We still have confidence … (Thursday) is a good opportunity and we have a lot to prove. The easy way to explain (Tuesday’s) game is that our effort level was not there, but we don’t have too many days to think about it.”Major obstacles will be in the Senators way as they attempt to get back on track.

That’s more important than people think.”Rounding out Montreal’s new top line is a mucker, veteran winger Andrew Shaw, who is raving about the speed of his new linemates.“When they have the puck and they’re going, they’re great at making quick, little plays or beating guys one-on-one Vancouver Canucks Hoodies Womens ,” Shaw told the Gazette. “Their compete level is pretty cool, too.”Craig Anderson, who made 35 saves in Montreal, will start in goal for the Senators. Against the Habs he has career numbers of 12-12-3 along with a .895 save percentage and a 3.20 GAA. CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Louis Domingue missed J.T.

We take the two points and run.”Girardi said Domingue won the game for the Lightning.“He made some huge saves, back-to-back on Monahan (in overtime),” he said. “It was too many to really count.

It’s unfortunate, but it was a good game. I’m sure it was entertaining for the fans and it was fun to play in that game.”NOTES: Playing in his 700th NHL game, Stamkos scored his 366th goal to pass Martin St. Louis for second on the club’s career list.
