Senators 2, Canadiens 1 (OT)
MONTREAL -- Center Kyle Turris scored 34 seconds into overtime, lifting the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night at the Bell Centre.
A Montreal chance in the Ottawa zone turned into a three-on-one the other way, with left winger Mike Hoffman feeding Turris, who roofed it over Canadiens goaltender Mike Condon.
Condon stopped 25 shots for the Canadiens (11-2-1), while counterpart Craig Anderson made 36 saves for the Senators (6-4-2).
Ottawa center Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored in regulation. Right winger Dale Weise replied for Montreal.
Montreal thought it took the lead in the first period when center Tomas Plekanec beat Anderson with a sharp shot from the circle, but referee Chris Lee waved it off immediately for goaltender interference. Canadiens coach Michel Therrien challenged the call, but after a review, Lee's ruling stood.
Pageau opened the scoring in the second on a Montreal power play. Defenseman P.K. Subban flubbed on a shot from the point and Pageau took advantage, skating down the ice and beating Condon five-hole at 3:16.
It was the second short-handed goal the Canadiens allowed this season, both coming from Pageau.
Weise evened things up nearly three minutes later on another power play. Center David Desharnais won a battle along the left boards, sending the puck to defenseman Andrei Markov at the point. Markov sent it off to center Alex Galchenyuk to Anderson's left, and Galchenyuk quickly dished off to an uncovered Weise at the other edge of the crease for the winger's seventh of the season.
The Senators thought they had regained their one-goal lead on the power play early in the third period. Defenseman Erik Karlsson took a shot from the blue line. Condon made the stop and the play was blown dead, but the puck trickled through into the net. The play went to review, but the call stood that the whistle had blown.
