MONTREAL - Describing the Senators as pesky doesn’t do them justice.
Persistent would be more accurate. And in some ways, they have become predictable.
The Senators erased a two-goal deficit, but still managed to pick up a point as Lars Eller scored in the shootout to hand Ottawa a 4-3 loss to the first-place Montreal Canadiens Wednesday night at the Bell Centre.
Though goalie Robin Lehner made 42 stops in 65 minutes, he wasn’t pleased with his effort in the shootout.
