Hidden Game: Canadiens salvage road trip with third-period comeback against Senators
Sieve of the night: Ottawa’s goaltending situation is so bad, after Linus Ullmark took a personal leave in late December, the team this week signed veteran James Reimer, 37. Leevi Merilainen, started his 10th consecutive game against Montreal. Merilainen has been in the AHL for portions of the last four seasons and, quite frankly, that’s where he belongs. This was his 34th career NHL game with Ottawa. He was beaten on the second, sixth, eighth, 14th, 15th and 19th shots he faced. His save percentage — if you can believe it — was .684.
