Back-to-back games are tough, but they’re even tougher when you have to do it with travel and Daylight Savings Time jumping the clocks forward on you. The Montreal Canadiens performed admirably in that situation, beating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime in a game where they were the better team for most of regulation play.
And the cherry on top? Cole Caufield scored one of the coolest goals you’ll see in an overtime period.
I’m not sure if I like anything more in hockey than the audacity it took for Caufield to let everyone in the building know what he was planning with that wind up, and still pull it off.
