MONTREAL — The Canadiens were pleased with how a lot things went Sunday.
They were shot out of a cannon early, dominated much of the play and carried a 1-0 lead midway through the third period.
Montreal also could look back at an inability to bury a heavily favoured opponent teetering on the ropes as a huge missed opportunity.
Nicolas Roy scored at 1:18 of overtime and Robin Lehner made 27 saves — including a massive stop on Canadiens rookie sniper Cole Caufield with 13 minutes left in regulation and Vegas down a goal — in the Golden Knights' 2-1 victory that evened their Stanley Cup semifinal 2-2.
