MONTREAL (AP) — The Vegas Golden Knights have evened their Stanley Cup semifinal series at two games apiece by outlasting the Canadiens in Montreal.
Nicolas Roy converted his own rebound 1:18 into overtime to give the Knights a 2-1 win over the Habs. Vegas was staring and a 3-1 series deficit until Brayden McNabb beat Carey Price midway through the third period.
Robin Lehner got the start in place of Marc-Andre Fleury and stopped 27 shots. Lehner blanked the Canadiens after Paul Byron scored on a breakaway with 1:05 left in the second period.
Carey Price stopped 17 shots for the Canadiens, who had won its previous four overtime games this postseason.
Game 5 is Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Canadiens interim head coach Dominique Ducharme remains isolated following a positive test for COVID-19.
Ducharme said Sunday that he is fully vaccinated and symptom-free, two days after his positive test forced him into isolation. He will clear the two-week waiting period following his second shot on Wednesday.
