MONTREAL — Carey Price made 26 saves as Montreal defeated the Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Tuesday to give Canadiens rookie head coach Dominique Ducharme his first NHL victory.Jeff Petry and Brendan Gallagher, with a goal and an assist each, and Tyler Toffoli, into and empty net, scored for Montreal (10-6-5), which snapped a five-game winless streak.Artem Zub replied for Ottawa (8-16-1). Joey Daccord stopped 30 shots in his second NHL start for the Senators, who fell to 3-2-0 against the Canadiens this season following Monday's 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.Ottawa winger Drake Batherson saw his six-game goal streak, which tied a franchise record, come to an end.The Canadiens entered on an 0-2-3 run and had just one victory over their last eight (1-4-3). Ducharme replaced the fired Claude Julien last week in the wake of consecutive shootout and overtime losses to the Senators in Ottawa.Montreal blew a 3-1 lead before dropping a 6-3 decision to the Winnipeg Jets in Ducharme's NHL head coaching debut Thursday, but deserved a better fate in Saturday's rematch in the Manitoba capital — a 2-1 overtime defeat that saw the visitors dominate play much of the night.Price entered Tuesday with a 5-4-3 record to go along with an .888 save percentage and 3.13 goals-against average in 2020-21. Over his previous six starts, the former Hart and Vezina Trophy winner was 1-4-1 with an .870 save percentage.Montreal backup Jake Allen, meanwhile, is 4-2-2 with a .929 save percentage and 2.12 GAA this season.The Senators continue to occupy the North Division basement, but came into Tuesday having won six of their past nine games, with a 4-1-0 record over the last five contests, including overtime and shootout victories against the Canadiens in the nation's capital.The Canadiens opened the scoring at 9:26 of the second period on their first power play of the night. Petry fed the puck down low to Corey Perry, who in turn found Gallagher in front for him bury his seventh goal of the season and snap Montreal's ugly 1-for-14 slump with the man advantage.The home side got another power play off that sequence as Ottawa defenceman Erik Gudbranson was assessed a double-minor for high-sticking Gallagher in the face as he beat Daccord.The Senators killed off the first two minutes of the infraction, but Petry then blasted a shot off the post and in at 11:30 for with his seventh of the campaign, and first in nine games.Ottawa cut the deficit in half with 91 seconds left in the period on Zub's second when he fired low blocker on Price after Canadiens forward Joel Armia and Senators winger Tim Stutzle collided in the slot.Price made a nice save earlier in the second on Batherson after he stepped around Alexander Romanov and tried a shot upstairs on the shortside.Senators winger Austin Watson hit the post seven minutes into the third on his team's best chance to get the equalizer as Montreal could finally exhale with Toffoli's 13th into an empty net.Ottawa had some good chances on an early four-minute power play in the first when Armia cut Erik Brannstrom with a high stick, but Batherson's shot off Price's near post was as close as the Senators would come.Daccord, who made his only other start at the tail end of the 2018-19 season, stopped Romanov from the slot before making an even better save on Toffoli with the glove.Notes: Petry's seven goals leads all NHL defencemen. ... The Canadiens were minus top-6 winger Josh Anderson (lower-body injury) for the second straight game. ... The Senators gave starting goalie Matt Murray the night off as Filip Gustavsson dressed as Daccord's backup. ... Stutzle was named the NHL's rookie of the month for February after registering three goals and seven assists in 14 games. ... Ottawa announced centre Derek Stepan, who was hurt in last Tuesday's victory over Montreal, has a shoulder injury that requires season-ending surgery.This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 2, 2021.___Follow @JClipperton_CP on Twitter The Canadian Press

The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, grounded last year by the pandemic, will return in May with a pair of women's events. But the men won't see action on the circuit until September. And there is no Canadian stop, as yet. World Rugby says discussions continue with Vancouver and London on possibly hosting men’s events in the window between the Tokyo Olympics and HSBC Singapore Sevens in late October. The schedule does not feature Langford, B.C., Canada's traditional stop on the women's circuit. The 2020 Sevens Series was halted after the men's event in Vancouver on March 7-8. The 2020 Langford women's event, scheduled for May 2-3, never happened. The condensed 2021 schedule includes five women’s and four men's rounds, pending decisions on Vancouver and London. New Zealand was crowned champions of both the women's and men's series in 2020, which ended early following five of the eight scheduled women’s rounds and six of the 10 men’s rounds. The Canadian women stood third and the men eighth when the 2020 season was called. The 2021 schedule kicks off with back-to-back women’s events in Paris on May 15-16 and 22-23. The Sevens Series will then break for the Olympics and restart with a men’s event in Singapore (Oct. 29-30), followed by joint men’s and women’s rounds in Hong Kong (Nov. 5-7), Dubai (Dec. 3-4) and Cape Town (Dec. 10-12). The Olympic sevens competition is scheduled for July 26-31 at Tokyo Stadium. Canada's men and women have both qualified for Tokyo. The Canadian women won bronze at the 2016 Rio Games, which the Canadian men missed out on. World Rugby says, with help from the International Olympic Committee, it is investing US$4 million to help qualified teams prepare for the Olympics. Pre-Olympic competition includes a joint women’s and men’s event in Los Angeles June 25-27. Further events will be announced at a later date. Japan will join as a core team in 2021 following its promotion from the inaugural HSBC World Rugby Challenger Series in 2020. Given it is an Olympic year, the England, Scotland and Wales teams will combine to compete as "GB Sevens" in both the men’s and women’s competitions. That will create two additional berths, with invitational teams to be announced at a later date. World Rugby concedes the pandemic may result in more openings. "Given the unique and unprecedented nature of the global COVID-19 pandemic and its various international travel restrictions and quarantine measures, it is accepted that some teams may not be able to travel or participate in all 2021 Series events," the governing body said in a statement. "Where possible, World Rugby will invite replacement teams to fill the places of any core Series team unable to participate in a series event." --- Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 3, 2021 Neil Davidson, The Canadian Press
