Montreal turned in strong performances in the second and third periods as the Canadiens beat Ottawa 5-2 for the second time this week. But our guys got going and after we tied the game, we handled the rest of the game pretty well,” Julien said. But each of Montreal’s four lines scored a goal and the defence came up big in the second and third periods. Matt Duchene, Ottawa’s leading scorer, left the game after he suffered a groin injury early in the second period. “The most important goal for us was the tying goal from our fourth line (in the first period),” Byron said.
