The Ottawa Senators Wind Down the Season Against the Montreal Canadiens

The Montreal Canadiens are headed to the NHL post season and they still have plenty to play for. The Ottawa Senators have nothing to play for but the young players are getting a chance to get some ice time.

Canadiens general manager Pierre Gauthier says it doesn't matter who the Canadiens meet in the playoffs. The Canadiens assured themselves of a playoff spot Tuesday with a 2-1 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Canadiens are currently in sixth place, and that puts them on a collision course with their Northeast Division rivals, the Boston Bruins. The Canadiens hold a 4-2 season edge over the Bruins but Boston has won their last two home games against the Canadiens, 8-6 and 7-0. With the top four positions still unsettled, the Canadiens say they won't try to jockey for position. They say the important thing is to avoid injuries and continue playing well.

Martin's biggest decision as his team prepares to close out the regular season with road games in Ottawa on Thursday and Toronto on Saturday is how to use goaltender Carey Price. He has appeared in a team-record 71 games this season. He hasn't shown any signs of fatigue in the past two games, but it's likely Martin will give him a day off in Ottawa and then get him back between the pipes in Toronto so he doesn't have too long a layoff before the playoffs start.

The Senators are 5-1 in their last 6 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game and beat Montreal, who could care less about this game.
