2021/05/02 11:38 MONTREAL (AP) Cole Caufield scored his first NHL goal 2:25 into overtime and the Montreal Canadiens rallied to beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 Saturday night. Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Petry each had a goal and an assist in the second comeback victory in two nights for Montreal. Cayden Primeau stopped 21 shots. Tim Stutzle and Thomas Chabot scored for Ottawa, and Filip Gustavsson had 36 saves. The Senators arrived rested and on a roll. They’d won six of their previous eight games, and climbed out of the North Division basement with Wednesday’s 6-3 victory against the Vancouver Canucks. The game was a quick turnaround for the Canadiens after Friday’s come-from-behind 5-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets. That win gave Montreal a six-point lead over Calgary, which played Edmonton later Saturday, for the fourth and final playoff spot in the North Division. The Canadiens were keen to build on that gap.

Caufield got the winner at 2:25 of the extra period off a feed from Petry to lift the Canadiens to a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. I really didn t know what to expect, Caufield said of the post-game locker-room. But the guys have been great to me. So, I couldn t be happier with the reaction after the silent treatment. (Your first NHL goal) is something you always dream about as a kid . . . but to have a moment like that, it s pretty unbelievable. It still hasn t hit me yet. I haven t even seen it, I don t really remember everything about it. But it was a really special moment and I m just happy to get those big two points tonight.
