Senators sit veterans, get good look at the future in pre-season finale loss to Canadiens

There was no Tim Stutzle. No Brady Tkachuk. No Claude Giroux. No Thomas Chabot. No Jake Sanderson. No Jakob Chychrun. No Artem Zub.While the Montreal Canadiens brought guys like Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Kirby Dach, Mike Matheson and Sean Monahan to Ottawa, the Senators decided to rest several of their key players in their final National Hockey League pre-season game Saturday night at Canadian Tire Centre.

After Montreal was among the worst NHL teams a season ago, expectations are probably not that high again for the Canadiens. But, still … Montreal, which had plenty of fans on its side in the Ottawa arena, did take a 1-0 lead 33 seconds into the game on Juraj Slafkovsky’s goal. Ottawa tied it a bit more than a minute later, when Parker Kelly banged in a rebound. A slap shot by Michael Pezzetta made it 2-1 Montreal.

A third-round draft pick of the Senators in 2020, the 21-year-old Jarventie has good size at 6-2 and has looked good in camp with four goals and an assist. In 40 American Hockey League games a season ago, he had 16 goals and 14 assists. At the world junior hockey championships in 2022, he had four goals and five assists in seven games.Asked how this training camp compared to a year ago, he said: “I’ve played a lot better. I have more confidence and I’m in better shape.

“I’ve gotten to see I can play with these guys,” he said. “ keep working hard every day. If it’s in Belleville, I’m going to get better and better and try to earn a call-up later in the year.”s seventh-round pick in 2019, led Belleville defencemen in points last season with 40 . He got into one NHL game, Ottawa’s season finale, a 4-3 overtime loss in Buffalo.Or in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
