Brady Tkachuk scored his first goal of the season and also recorded an assist as the visiting Ottawa Senators won 5-2 over the rival Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

With 7:17 remaining in regulation and Ottawa ahead 4-2, Tkachuk, amid a delayed penalty, took a pass in the slot from Tim Stutzle and beat Montreal goaltender Sam Montembeault (24 saves) to help his team finish 4-3-0 on a season-long road stretch.

Tkachuk was playing just his sixth game and third since missing 20 with a thumb injury. He assisted on Artem Zub's tiebreaking goal in the first period.
