Canadiens Win Thriller In Overtime
Captain Nick Suzuki returned to the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night, and while the Habs kept a 5-0-1 record in his absence, they didn’t play as well as their record suggested. Many of those wins came thanks to fantastic goaltending, and on Tuesday that wasn’t enough as the Sainte-Flanelle suffered an historic collapse, going from leading 4-0 with 2:40 to go in the third to losing 5-4 in overtime. The Bleu, Blanc, Rouge hoped to make its fans forget that in earnest as they hosted the Utah Mammoth. It was one last home game before heading to Toronto for a Saturday night tilt with the Leafs and Carey Price’s Hockey Hall of Fame induction.
