Jake Evans scores in overtime to lift Canadiens past Golden Knights 3-2
MONTREAL (AP) --- Jake Evans scored at 3:58 of overtime, leading the Montreal
Canadiens to a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night.
Cole Caufield, with his 30th goal of the season, and Phillip Danault also
scored for Montreal, as the Habs halted a two-game losing skid.
Mike Matheson ran his point streak to a season-long five games with an assist
on Caufield's goal.
Jakub Dobes made 32 saves in his first career start against Vegas. The
24-year-old boasts a 6-0-1 record over his past seven games, with his last
regulation loss coming against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Dec. 9.
Pavel Dorofeyev scored both goals for the Golden Knights, who lost their third
straight game against Montreal, dating back to last season.
Akira Schmid stopped 23 shots in the losing effort. The Swiss netminder lost
for the second time in as many starts against Montreal this season.
Caufield, who had a hat trick in his team's 4-3 loss to the Boston Bruins on
Saturday, has scored in six straight games, the longest streak of his career.
Caufield has nine goals over that six-game stretch.
Noah Hanifin skated in his 800th career NHL game for the Golden Knights. The
29-year-old Boston native became the first player of the 2015 draft class to
reach the milestone.
