With his trademark grit, Ott believes he can fit right in with what Bergevin and head coach Claude Julien are trying to accomplish down the stretch and on into the postseason. The Canadiens' brand new No. 92 has a great deal of respect for the group as a whole already.
"As a team, they're a fast, quick hockey club with arguably who I think is the best player in the NHL in Carey Price as a goaltender. Playing against them, it's always been a hard, quick game," said Ott, who previously suited up for Dallas, Buffalo and St. Louis as well. "With competitive guys like [Brendan] Gallagher, [Max] Pacioretty and [Andrew] Shaw - and you bring in [Shea] Weber - those types of guys continue to make that team even more competitive. Going forward, I think we're due for a long run with a great team."
