This feels like a breaking point for the Montreal Canadiens, who are hanging their heads over a 3-2 overtime loss to an Ottawa Senators team bringing up the rear in the all-Canadian North Division.

The rebuilding Senators roared back from a 5-1 deficit to secure a jaw-dropping 6-5 overtime victory Monday — the first time in franchise history Ottawa won a game after trailing by four goals — before the Leafs rebounded with that 2-1 decision Wednesday.

"We just need to be ready at a moment's notice to make those adjustments... that's really how we're planning our business," said Commissioner Randy Ambrosie.

The Senators roared back from a 5-1 deficit in Monday's opener of this three-game series against the Leafs before securing a stunning 6-5 overtime decision — the first time in franchise history Ottawa won a game after trailing by four goals.

Ottawa stormed back to force extra time with four straight goals, including Dadonov's batted effort out of mid-air with 2:01 left in regulation and Hogberg on the bench for an extra attacker.

Ottawa still searching for third win of the season.
