The Montreal Canadiens have the Senators on the brink of elimination after just three games and are in Ottawa Wednesday night looking for a sweep. Game 4 starts at 7:00 and airs on CBC and TVA.

Match Up

Despite losing three of four matches to the Sens in the regular season, the Habs are three for three when it counts. If Ottawa can take any solace from their desperate position, it’s that all three games have been one goal affairs, with the Senators scoring first in each game this series. Twice already these teams have gone to overtime, but each time the Habs managed to find a hero, Alex Galchenyuk in Game 2 and Dale Weise last match.

What to Watch

Canadiens: The fourth line has been the first in terms of production for the Habs, contributing four of the team’s nine goals in this series. Dale Weise started the series on the third line but picked up both goals in Montreal’s 2-1 OT win on Sunday after he was moved beside Torrey Mitchell and Brandon Prust.

Senators: Despite having 10 shots in this series and a share of the team lead in that stat, Erik Karlsson has been held without a goal through three games. Clarke MacArthur has a pair of goals to lead the Sens this postseason, including the only marker in Sunday’s game.

What’s at Stake

A week of rest for the Canadiens, and a chance to game plan for either the Lightning or the Wings. The Senators need to win to extend their, but it’s a situation they’ve been in through much of the regular season. The Senators won 23 of their last 31 games to finish the season.

Who’s Out

Nathan Beaulieu has been ruled out for the rest of the series. The team has termed Beaulieu’s injury as an upper body issue, deny reports that Beaulieu has been concussed. P.A. Parenteau missed the second and the third games of the series with an upper body injury of his own.

Chris Philips won’t play again for the Sens until next season, but other than that the Senators are healthy heading in to Wednesday’s action.

What Else

The Canadiens have been winning games the hard way in this series, going down 1-0 in the first period in each of the first three games, only to orchestrate three one goal wins. As improbable as the Canadiens’ wins have been, the Anaheim Ducks have been making their series against the Jets even harder on themselves. The Ducks have trailed each of their three games going into the third period, but have managed to come back and win each one.
