Sabres vs. Canadiens Recap: Montreal escapes testy game in overtime

After all the fights and all the emotions, it was an own-goal that gave the Canadiens a 3-2 overtime victory.

Paul Byron tried to find fellow former Sabre Torrey Mitchell on a 2-on-1 break, but instead his pass went right to Zach Bogosian's stick. Lucky for Byron, it got enough of it to change directions and beat Robin Lehner. Montreal downed the Sabres 3-2 in overtime.

It was the cherry on top of a frustrating game for Lehner, who was clearly emotional in the locker room. Not only were the first two goals ones he'd like back, he was also at the center of the fisticuffs between the two teams.
