In Calgary, Nick Suzuki scored in the third period for the visiting Montreal Canadiens to tie their game with the Flames at 3-3.
That was enough to help the Habs who got the win when Max Domi struck for the winner with 68 seconds left in the extra session for a 4-3 win.
“I was absolutely out of gas to be honest,” Domi said. “The shift before that we were dancing around pretty good and didn’t score and then they had a chance, Price made a save and he kicked it out to me and I went down. I know [Flames defenseman Mark Giordano] a little bit from back home. I know how good he is. I’m a big fan of him. He’s one of the best defenders in the entire league. I wasn’t going to beat him at the end of a shift like that. I figured I’d shoot through him and got lucky with the shot.”
Carey Price made 24 saves for the win.
Elias Lindholm, Brady Tkachuk and Oliver Kylington scored for the Flames.
We’re not satisfied with a point,” Tkachuk said. “We were up 2-0 at one point in the game and up 3-2 with 10 minutes left. The best teams find a way to win that one in regulation there. We did a good job of that a couple weeks ago but we’ve got to get back to that.”
Brendan Gallagher and Joel Armia also scored for the Canadiens.

David Rittich made 39 saves in the win.
“It was tough,” Kylington said. “They got a lot of momentum and then they capitalized on their chances and I think we went out there in the third with the same mindset we had in the first to get a goal back and get our game going again, but it ended like it ended.”
