The game started well for the Habs.

Shortly afterwards, Zach Bolduc served up a big check to Jake Sanderson.
Sanderson landed on the home team’s bench. In defense of his teammate, Kutis MacDermid threw down the gloves against Bolduc, but he was the only one willing to fight.

Result: the Habs went on the power play…
And made the most of it. What a pass from Nick Suzuki to Juraj Slafkovsky.
Are they working black magic or what?
That’s some black magic right there #GoHabsGo pic.twitter.com/wvvjum7aw1

And late in the period, Michael Amadio tied it.
THE #SENS TIE IT IN THE DYING SECONDS!
Not sure what Giroux is supposed to do here…Dobson literally pushed him into the net too. Clearly not goalie interference. Refs with a rare good call.
WE’VE GOT A GAME FOLKS!

Late in the game, just as it looked like Ottawa would win, Ivan Demidov scored the equalizer.
Great vision from Lane Hutson on the play.

For the thousandth time this season, the game including the Habs went into overtime.
Alex Newhook sealed the deal in overtime.
Final score: 4-3.
The Habs return to action on Tuesday at the Bell Centre against the Flyers.
– He was right to refuse.
Kurtis MacDermid wanted to go with Arber Xhekaj but Xhekaj declined and pointed to the scoreboard

– Jayden Struble won hands down.
