Austin Watson and Drake Batherson scored in a 47-second span in the third period to help the Ottawa Senators beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-2 on Saturday night.
Watson broke a tie at 4:31 into the third period with a deflection of Travis Hamonic’s point shot and Batherson fired a wrist shot from the slot past past goalie Sam Montembeault at 5:18.
The gritty winger had also tallied seven minutes in penalties during the game, the majority of which came from a fight with Michael Pezzetta in the second period.
