MONTREAL (CP) - Chris Higgins' third shorthanded goal of the season broke a scoreless tie and lifted the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-2 NHL victory over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.
A turnover at centre ice by Jason Spezza let Higgins go in alone and shovel a backhander one-handed under Ray Emery's pad 5:30 into the second period. It was Higgins' sixth career shorthanded goal.
Alex Kovalev scored in the second period and then three goals were scored in the final 1:16 of play - Andrei Markov into an empty net, Steve Begin, and Ottawa's Tom Preissing with nine seconds left.
The Canadiens (6-2-3) also got a solid game from goaltender David Aebischer as Ottawa outshot the home side 33-29.
Spezza scored his fifth of the season for Ottawa (5-6-0), which was coming off a 2-1 defeat in Boston.
