The veteran NHL forward collected a goal and an assist in the team\u0027s pre\u002Dseason finale, a 3\u002D2 victory against the Canadiens.
BOUCTOUCHE, N.B. — As a cagey veteran of 951 National Hockey League regular-season and 118 playoff games with 10 teams, Derick Brassard knows better than to read too much into a single pre-season game.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Scott Sabourin also scored for the Senators, while Cole Caufield and Kaiden Guhle scored for the Canadiens. No. 1 goaltender Anton Forsberg was also given the night off, while Magnus Hellberg, claimed off waivers earlier in the week due to Cam Talbot’s rib injury, made his Senators debut. He had no chance on Caufield’s goal, a shot that deflected off Nikita Zaitsev’s stick and under the crossbar, but he allowed Guhle’s shot, late in the second period, to slip between his body and arm. In Hellberg’s defence, the lighting inside the Irving Centre is not at NHL standards.
Before the game, Senators head coach D.J. Smith said Brassard had improved since Day 1 and the main thing the organization was keeping an eye on was “to see how his pace continues to pick up,” and he was originally expected to play on a more defensive-oriented trio with journeyman Jayce Hawryluk and prospect Zack Ostapchuk.Article content
Among the other sub-plots Saturday was the growing animosity between the teams, who met for the fourth consecutive time in the pre-season. Smith wasn’t pleased with what happened as time wound down in Thursday’s game in Gander, a 4-3 Senators victory.Article content
