Max Pacioretty scored his team-record 10th overtime winning goal as the Montreal Canadiens came from behind to defeat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 at the Bell Centre on Saturday night.
Charlie Lindgren made 34 saves, plus a key poke check in overtime to bounce back after his first NHL loss on Thursday. The Canadiens have now won six of their last eight games and seven of their last 10.
In the opening minutes of the period, Alex Galchenyuk got behind two former teammates in Nathan Beaulieu and Josh Gorges but couldn’t beat Chad Johnson, who got the start as the Sabres played their second game in two nights.
