Jaroslav Halak made a season-high 45 saves to help the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
The team's third straight win was sparked by a 17th goal of the season from Michael Cammalleri with further goals from Marc-Andre Bergeron, Andrei Kostitsyn and Scott Gomez.
Mike Fisher scored for the offense-minded Senators who put up 46 shots in comparison to 27 for Montreal.
"They came out hard and they were shooting," Halak told reporters. "That's when I got in the game."
Despite their chances, the home team could not break through and went 0-for-7 on power-play opportunities as they were stood up by Halak.
"We got a lot of pucks at the net but just didn't do enough job of getting pucks in the net," Senators center Jason Spezza said.
Montreal's netminder rebounded from a dreadful start last week when he allowed six goals in a loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
