Patrik Laine scored in overtime to give the host Montreal Canadiens a thrilling 5-4 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday.

Jonathan Quick made 33 saves but was denied his 400th NHL win; he would be the first U.S.-born goalie to reach the mark. Alexis Lafreniere, Will Cuylle, Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider scored, and Adam Fox had two assists for New York (22-20-4), which has points in eight consecutive games (5-0-3).

MONTREAL (AP) — Patrik Laine scored 3:20 into overtime and the Montreal Canadiens beat the New York Rangers 5-4 on Sunday night.

After two highlight-reel saves by his netminder Jakub Dobes, Patrik Laine scored the overtime winner as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the New York Rangers 5-4 on Sunday night at Bell Centre.

The Montreal Canadiens are currently playing some very strong hockey. They have earned points in 10 of their last 12 games. Looking at this stretch, it is striking to see that the two regular-season losses were against teams that were at the bottom of the standings at the time: the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Chicago Blackhawks.

Canadiens forward Patrik Laine, who missed the previous four games with an illness, returned to the lineup and scored his club's lone goal in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Stars. It was his ninth power-play tally in just 14 games this season.
