The CanadiensMTL dropped their fifth-straight game thanks to Brandon Tanev's OT tally for the penguins.
Zach Aston-Reese and Bryan Rust scored for the Penguins in regulation time in the first game of a back-to-back. Matt Murray made 26 saves.
Tanev scored 1:49 into overtime when he cashed in Teddy Blueger’s rebound past a sprawled-out Price as the Penguins improved to 4-0-1 in their past five games at Bell Centre. The Canadiens jumped to a 1-0 lead at 8:42 of the first period through Lehkonen’s eighth on an athletic play from Domi. The second-line centre dangled the puck behind his back to evade Patric Hornqvist before feeding Lehkonen, who was unmarked to Murray’s left.
Lehkonen restored Montreal’s one-goal advantage 3:37 into the second period on a heads-up play deep in Pittsburgh’s end. The winger anticipated a pass from Kris Letang to Jack Johnson across the slot, intercepted the puck and rammed it past Murray for his 100th career point.
