3 Anniversaries in 1 Game

Montreal Canadiens v Ottawa Senators represented an epic battle between the original founding members. In 1917, they were the first two teams to play in the opening night of the NHL history. Since then, 54,000 ice hockey matches have occurred and only 22 of those were outdoor games. December 16 was a special night indeed!

NHL 100 Classic Marks the Senators’ Comeback

Everyone thought that the Senators were not as likely to win in the NHL 100 Classic. After all, there were 2 Montreal Canadiens v Ottawa Senators matches this season and both times, the Senators lost. In the first match between them, the Senators lost 3-8 goals. The second time was a bit of an improvement by losing 1-2 goals, but still. Not to mention that in the first game ever, 100 years ago, the Senators also lost to the Canadiens by 3-7 goals.

Despite the low odds online sportsbook sites in Canada initially estimated for them, the Senators still managed to bring themselves back up and proved them wrong. What’s more? They were in power play throughout the whole game. A whopping 35 shots were attempted by the Senators. There was never a dull moment!

The end result was the Senators winning the Canadiens by 3-0 goals. Recently, they have also beaten the New York Rangers. It’s the first time that the Senators have won two games in a row since this season has started. Are we witnessing the start of their winning streaks?
