The Ottawa Senators Must Now Win Four In A Row Against The Montreal Canadiens

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun,

They sat quietly in their dressing room and tried to put on a brave face.

Craig Anderson couldn’t pull off his own heist Sunday night and now the Senators stand on the brink of elimination.

The move to change to the club’s top goalie was viewed as panic in the morning, it was looking brilliant heading into the third period, but in the end nothing was working for the Senators as Dale Weise scored his second of the night at 8:47 of OT to give the Montreal Canadiens a dramatic 2-1 victory.

Anderson made 47 saves but Weise beat him short side for the win.

The packed house of 20,500 at Canadian Tire Centre left in a state of shock as Weise beat Anderson to give the Habs a commanding 3-0 series lead. Only Clarke MacArthur was able to beat Carey Price on the 33 shots he faced as Weise beat Anderson in regulation to send it to OT.

“It was a close one,” said Anderson. “It’s frustrating. The guys battled so hard, played so well and to come up short is frustrating.

“I gave the team a chance to win and that’s my job. It’s frustrating I wasn’t able to get the win for the guys. We’ve got to put this behind us and get ready to go.”
