MONTREAL (AP) — The Montreal Canadiens have avoided a four-game sweep while preventing the Tampa Bay Lightning from celebrating their second straight Stanley Cup.
Josh Anderson’s second goal of the night came 3:57 into overtime and gave the Canadiens a 3-2 victory versus the Lightning. The Habs wasted a pair of one-goal leads before Anderson got his second career playoff overtime goal after he forced a turnover at the blue line.
Carey Price stopped 32 shots for Montreal, and rookie defenseman Alexander Romanov also scored.
The Canadiens were in line for a 2-1 win until Pat Maroon beat Price with 6:12 left in regulation.
Barclay Goodrow also scored for the Lightning, who will try again to wrap up their third Stanley Cup title at home on Wednesday.
