Ottawa’s youth movement paced the Senators to a 7-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in pre-season hockey Friday. “We just made a lot more plays,” Smith said. Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme expected a slow start from his club having travelled the same day to Ottawa, but was disappointed in Montreal’s second period. Poulin gave up a goal just 14 seconds into the third when Formenton scored his second of the night. Four goals in the second period boosted the Senators’ confidence in their offence as the regular season approaches.
