Max Domi had two goals and an assist and Jonathan Drouin added a goal and two assists as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Ottawa Senators 5-2 Tuesday night.
Drouin scored with 5:30 left in the opening period as he and Domi broke out on a two-on-one against Senators defenseman Cody Ceci. Domi sped up the wing and fed Drouin, who backhanded it through Anderson's legs.
Domi scored with 5:22 left in the second period, burying a one-time pass from Drouin. Domi added his second of the period three minutes later, again on a pass from Drouin. Drouin recorded his first three-point game of the season, while Domi has two this season.
NOTES: Gallagher was named the 2017-18 recipient of the Jean Beliveau Trophy for community involvement before the game. ... The Canadiens wore jerseys with nicknames on the back during warm-up. The jerseys will be autographed and auctioned off, with proceeds going toward the Canadiens Children's Foundation. ... Brady Tkachuk has been held without a point in three games, his longest drought of the season.
