Pitlick had a power-play assist, one hit and two penalty minutes in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Pitlick was the secondary helper on Joel Armia's tip-in of a Corey Schueneman blast late in the second period. It was the first man-advantage point of the season for Pitlick, who has gradually become a key piece and top-six forward since the Canadiens claimed him off waivers from Minnesota in January. He has 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in the 17 games under the rule of interim head coach Martin St. Louis.
