Dylan Larkin scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, to lead the host Detroit Red Wings to a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night in the 600th meeting between the two Original Six teams.
Pius Suter also scored for Detroit, and Alex Nedeljkovic made 35 saves to win his third consecutive start. It was the final regular-season meeting between the two teams, with Montreal claiming the series 2-1. Detroit took a 2-1 lead early in the second period with two goals in the span of 45 seconds. Larkin got the first on a sharp angle shot from just above the goal line in the left corner that went over Montembeault’s right shoulder and inside the far post for his fifth goal of the season.
