Cole Caufield scored to tie the game in the third period, and the Montreal Canadiens won 2-1 against the Colorado Avalanche in the shootout at Ball Arena on Saturday.
Caufield and Kirby Dach each scored in the shootout, and Nick Suzuki had an assist for the Canadiens (18-18-3), who have won seven of their past 10 games and were coming off a 4-2 loss at the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.
“It was a shaky start for sure. A lot of guys sacrificing their bodies blocking shots,” Suzuki said. “I thought the guys stuck with it the whole time. We didn’t really try to change anything. We weren’t trying to cheat the game. We had to play well defensively against that team, especially when their big guys are on the ice. It’s just a mature effort from us, and [we] found a way to get it into overtime and went into the shootout.”
Jakub Dobes made 22 saves in his second career NHL game, which featured his first career shootout, plus stopping Artturi Lehkonen on a breakaway as he came out of the penalty box at 4:10 of overtime.
“That’s just a cherry on the top, but like taking a point from these guys, it’s huge,” Dobes said of the breakaway. “Unbelievable. I mean, what a comeback from the guys. Team is playing well.”

What is it with the refs trying to steal one away from Montreal? The call on Ghule late in the third was another example of a soft soft call from the refs this year. It is disgusting and becoming common in the league.
First time in a long time I’m feeling the stress while watching. It’s glorious!
The bell centre will be rocking on Monday when they return home Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole ole
Solid road trip! They're on quite the little run.
Running the goalie…… that is most deserving of a pounding!!! Where is Xhekej? Remember what happened to Price? We need to protect our prospect
Ref tried to rig the match, but it failed thanks to Dobes
Dobes ! What a beast ! Love his style, big , athletic , and still so young .Very impressive!
Congrats on 7k love seeing the Habs play playoff caliber hockey. I was a doubter at the beginning of the season but they have turned it around. One point back we have to keep it going. Love the content man keep it up
You know what’s wild? How Dobes and the habs WONT make the playoffs. For years to come. Congrats on getting a tiny bit of regular season success, god knows Nonetreal needs it. But when it comes time to golf in April the rest of the top teams (again NOT THE HABS) will be playing playoff hockey
We gotta talk about Slafkovsky. He doesn't have it, I keep thinking he's going to break out and have a great dominant game. But no, his passes are intercepted, his defense is weak, he's pushed off the puck, and he has no confidence. Best play of the game was that MSL pulled him with 10 minutes left in the game, he replaced him with Evans on the top line. His minutes are below 14 per game. Sorry Whiskey, but Pezz doesn't have the skill set of this current Habs team. He's gritty but that all.
You're from the east 2 ay! I'm in cape Breton I had a feeling u were haha .. can we call him dubs er wha man what a goalie this kid doesn't Wana go back to Laval haha love the look. love the poise .. well played kid.
Dobes!!! 🎉🎉❤
2 NHL starters in net. A certified sniper (2). Quick and mean blue line. First rate penalty killers. This recipe brought to you by a playoff ready team. I’ll tip my hat to MSL who I criticized on your channel a couple of months ago for next line up attitude the last 10 minutes of the game. He must have read the comment as I’m pretty sure Evans was with Nick and Cole to close the game and Slaf sat out. When you think about it – behind 1-0; that’s an actual strategy. The tank is off and bring in THE MIX
Let’s see some hockey junkie collabs! Need the avengers assemble of the east coast habs YouTube commentators
Congratulations on reaching 7k subs! like your videos, not too long, no blah-blah.

Hehh 🙂 Big win! 🙂 Dobes reminds me of Hasek back in olden days. Future legend..? The team is starting to look like a really interesting set of characters. And you reached 7000 subscribers. 🙂
Ref standard are non existant and very annoying. I dont understand that the ref did not go for the review of that first goal, I dont say that goal was no good but clearly scored by a skate moving foward.
You should have shown what happened just before Caufield tied it. It was a potential mishap by Hutson, but they converted it into a 2 on 1 and Caufield scores.
Another thing. The crashing into Dobes gave me vibes on the Kreider – Price crash during the playoffs long ago.
Dobes is fantastic! Get Laine back in for a big difference.
Congrats on the 7k keep on the good work!
There is nor shore like the north shore that's for sure. My favorite donair place is king of donair.
Dobes reminds me of Kenny Dryden, so confident.
Bluenoser here, enjoy your coverage of the Habs, really good content. I've been a Habs fan since 1959 so I've seen the good, the great, the bad and the ugly but these kids have loads of talent and are fun to watch. GHG.
Dobes and Rimpinen, we're getting introduced to 2 amazing goaltenders
I've seen enough, give Dobes the vezina… Guhle with 9 blocks as well was kinda insane
Congratulations on the 7000 subs! Let's go!
spending money isnt a skill, come on guises, just make your own meals!
take large piece of meat. cover it, cook it low and slow.
Congrats on over 7k
