Paul Byron got free and beat Marc-Andre Fleury with a backhander 1:59 into overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 win over the Golden Knights on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.
The finish came not long after a dramatic late goal forced the extra session.
Phillip Danault jammed a loose puck by Fleury with 1:25 left in the third period on a scramble in front of the net after Fleury had stopped his first attempt.
It was Danault’s third goal.
Fleury had a season-high 43 saves.
Brandon Pirri converted on a breakaway late in the second period when his shot trickled through the pads of Carey Price to give the Knights a 3-2 lead that looked as if it would hold up before the late goal.
