Dylan Larkin scored twice, including the game-winning goal in overtime, to give the Detroit Red Wings a 3-2 win Saturday night over the Montreal Canadiens.
Larkin took a puck coming off the boards from Lucas Raymond, who was credited with an assist, and scored top shelf to goalie Sam Montembeault's stick side. It was his seventh of the season, and gave him 300 career points.Montreal saw goals from Ryan Poehling and Chris Wideman. Goalie Jake Allen had eight saves before he was knocked out of the game late in the first period because of a collision with Larkin. Sam Montembeault took over and made 22 saves.
Larkin scored on a shot from the left corner despite having very little net to shoot at from an angle but found the upper right corner. Larkin appeared shaken up and sat out the rest of the period on the bench before returning for the second period and scoring the game-tying goal. The Canadiens are thin at goalie position. They haven't yet had the services of netminder Carey Price, who helped lead them to the 2021 Stanley Cup finals. Price five weeks ago voluntarily entered the NHL's player assistance program -- jointly run by the league and the NHL Players' Association to help players and their families with mental health, substance abuse and other matters.
