CANADIENS vs SENATORS Watch FREE Live Stream Online: Game 6 From Ottawa

Tonight at 6 p.m. ET, the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators take the ice at the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa for Game 6 of their Eastern Conference best-of-seven Round 1 Stanley Cup playoff series.

Montreal will hope that the third time is the charm as it tries to eliminate its adversary again while Ottawa will hope to stave off defeat and force a Game 7 back at Bell Centre.

The Canadiens cruised to a 3-0 series lead with a 4-3 victory in Game 1, a 3-2 overtime triumph in Game 2 and a 2-1 win in the extra frame in Game 3.

Faced with elimination on their home ice, the Senators gutted out a 1-0 win in Game 4 and then went to Montreal and fought off elimination again with a 5-1 rout.

With each win mounting, Ottawa is starting to believe they can do the unthinkable and come back from a 3-0 series deficit. The last team to do so was last year's Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings as they fell behind 3-0 in their opening round series against the San Jose Sharks and ended up winning it all.

"This team believes in itself," Ottawa coach Dave Cameron said per NHL.com. "It's been on the run here for two months and it believes in itself and it plays that way."

While the Canadiens may have lost momentum and the cushion they had earlier in the series, the team knows it still has two chances to close things out against a desperate opponent.

"We are still leading 3-2 so we're still in the driver's seat," Montreal center David Desharnais told NHL.com. "We just have to win the next game."

Dale Weise has a team-best two goals for the Canadiens in the series while Torrey Mitchel, P.K. Subban and Brian Flynn have one tally apiece and two helpers to tie for the team lead with three points.

Patrick Wierioch has two goals and three points for the Senators thus far while Bobby Ryan and Clarke MacArthur have also lit the lamp twice and Erik Karlsson is among four players who have four points.

In the crease, Craig Anderson will suit up for Ottawa. After taking over for rookie Andrew Hammond in Game 3, Anderson has allowed three goals while turning aside 120 shots.

Montreal counters with Vezina Trophy-favorite and potential Hart Trophy candidate Carey Price in the blue paint and he has yielded 12 goals on the 155 shots he's faced.

The Canadiens look to end the series while the Senators hope to win their third straight and even it up on home ice when the puck drops on Game 6 live from the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa.
