As the Olympic break looms, the Senators have heated up, going 7-1-2 in their last 10 games.

"All we've done now is set the table to keep doing it," coach Paul MacLean said. "Our team had been playing better and better as December rolled on, so the potential was there for us to have success on this road trip."

Ottawa has won six of seven while Montreal is coming off a 4-1 loss Tuesday night against the Devils.

"We competed. We set the tempo, but the story of the game was Marty Brodeur," coach Michel Therrien said of New Jersey's goaltender who only allowed the lone goal seven minutes into the game. "He was phenomenal. We were the attacking team. We outshot them, but it was one of those nights when you run into a hot goaltender."

The Canadiens struggles on the power play continued, going 0-for-3 and 0-for-17 over their last five games.

"We're not standing here with our arms crossed, and hoping that it will get going again. We're working very hard at it," Therrien told the team's website about the power play. "We're having meetings with the guys. We're working on it in morning skates. It's something that we're really focusing on and we're expecting that it will get back on track soon."
