Cole Caufield scores in OT in Canadiens' 5-4 victory over Mammoth
MONTREAL (AP) --- Cole Caufield scored 30 seconds into overtime and the
Montreal Canadiens overcame Logan Cooley's hat trick to beat the Utah Mammoth
5-4 on Thursday night.
Captain Nick Suzuki had a goal and two assists in his return from a six-game
absence for Montreal (10-3-3). Adam Engstrom added his first career goal, and
Kirby Dach and Arber Xhekaj also scored.
Jakub Dobes made 16 saves two nights after the Canadiens made some unwanted
history. Montreal lost 5-4 in overtime to Winnipeg on Tuesday after blowing a
4-0 lead with 2:39 remaining, marking the latest four-goal comeback in NHL
history.
Cooley had his second hat trick in four games and added an assist. At 228
career games, Cooley became the fastest active player to have five career hat
tricks, besting Alex Ovechkin by two games.
Nick Schmaltz had a goal and two assists for Utah (10-6-1). Sebastian Cossa
stopped 30 shots.
Montreal tied it at 4 when Engstrom beat Cossa with a wrist shot with 5:06 to
go in the third.
