Kastelic scores 1st goals of NHL career as Senators hand 8th straight loss to Canadiens

Mark Kastelic had a night to remember as he scored his first NHL goal and his second proved to be the game winner as the Senators beat the visiting Montreal Canadiens 6-4 Saturday night.

Rem Pitlick, with a pair, Cole Caufield and Joel Edmundson scored for Montreal (20-48-11), who have now lost eight straight. Carey Price, making his third consecutive start, stopped 20 shots.

There was much anticipation for this game as it marked the first time the two would meet since Brendan Gallagher criticized Tim Stutzle of feigning injury.

While Stutzle was kept off the scoresheet he drew three penalties on the night.

It didn't take long for hostilities to ensue as there was a fight in the opening minutes of the game and both sides seemed eager to annoy one another.

Trailing 6-3 to start the third, Pitlick scored his second of the game midway through the period. The Canadiens kept pressing, but Forsberg was solid.

The Senators jumped out to a 6-3 lead in the second thanks to a trio of goals scored in a span of 67 seconds.

At 6:43 of the period Kelly appeared to look for a pass, but beat Price stick side, 32 seconds later Norris beat Price from in close and 35 seconds after that Kastelic scored his second of the night.

Montreal called a timeout and rebounded, scoring twice to make it 5-3 as Caufield took a great pass from Mike Hoffman to beat Forsberg stick side.

The Senators were able to regain their three-goal cushion as Formenton beat Jeff Petry in a foot race for his fifth shorthanded goal of the season.
