Drouin gave Montreal the lead at 14:30 of the first period, tucking a backhand through the five-hole for his 10th goal of the season. It finished a two-on-one rush with Domi feeding a nifty saucer pass over the stick of defenseman Cody Ceci to Drouin in the slot.

The Canadiens outscored Ottawa 3-1 in the second period.

DeMelo tied the score with his third goal of the season at 8:49 of the second period, a slap shot from the point that took a drastic dip on Price. Mikkel Boedker earned an assist as did Chris Tierney, who won the faceoff in Montreal's zone.

Domi scored his second goal of the game, and No. 13 this season, from the right circle at 17:29 of the second after Drouin's deft drop pass.
