The Ottawa Senators Extend Their Playoff Series With The Montreal Canadiens

Not so fast.

If the Montreal Canadiens had designs on heading home to catch some R & R before round two, they just got handed a change of itinerary, otherwise known as Game 5 at the Bell Centre Friday night.

The Senators bought themselves life and inspired fan dreams of another 2014-15 miracle with a determined 1-0 victory in Game 4 at the Canadian Tire Centre, a win born out of a push and resolve that built as the game went on. The Habs carry a 3-1 series lead, but the first elimination bullet has been dodged.

“We don’t want it to end,” said winger Mark Stone, who seemed to have the puck on a string for most of the third period. “We love coming to the rink. We wanted to live to fight another day.”

The Senators did just that, in high drama – riding a third period goal from Mike Hoffman with 10:55 remaining in the third period, ending nearly 50 minutes of scoreless, breathtaking hockey.
