Canadiens' Steve Ott: Makes Montreal debut Saturday

Ott had an assist and seven hits over 11:29 of ice time in a 4-1 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Ott made his debut for the Canadiens and had an immediate impact while centering the fourth line. He won an offensive-zone faceoff to set up the Habs' first goal and delivered a team high in hits. Collectively, Ott, Torrey Mitchell and Andreas Martinsen gave Montreal its best performance in quite a while from a fourth line. Going forward, Ott should be in the active lineup most nights, delivering in the more physical categories like hits and PIM.
