Mikhail Sergachev scores OT winner as Utah beats Canadiens

sergachev

Mikhail Sergachev scored with 27 seconds left in overtime to lift the visiting Utah Hockey Club to a 3-2 win against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

Sergachev scored on a redirection off a centering pass from Nick Schmaltz, who had two assists.

Dylan Guenther had a goal and an assist, Jack McBain also scored and Karel Vejmelka needed to make just 11 saves for Utah, which had lost four of five.

Jayden Struble and Alex Newhook scored and Sam Montembeault made 26 saves for the Canadiens in the finale of their four-game homestand (2-1-1).

Utah went on its fourth power play of the game at 4:18 of the second period, but it was Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak who hit the crossbar on a short-handed breakaway.

Five seconds after the power play ended, Schmaltz passed the puck out from behind the Montreal net to Clayton Keller against the side wall. He spotted Guenther calling for the puck in the left circle and Guenther scored with a one-timer for his 10th goal of the season in his 100th NHL game.

The lead didn’t last long.

Utah tried to clear the puck, but defenseman David Savard gloved it down at the blue line and passed it to Cole Caufield, who found Struble near the blue line.

Struble had room to skate into the high slot with the puck and beat Vejmelka over his left shoulder with a wrist shot, tying it 1-1 at 8:05 of the second and giving him goals in back-to-back games after the defenseman went the first 14 games without scoring.

The Canadiens scored 46 seconds into the third period to move ahead 2-1.

Dvorak chased down a dump-in and centered the puck from below the goal line. The puck hit Vejmelka in the skate and caromed into the crease, where Newhook lifted it into the net.

McBain scored for the third consecutive game on a one-timer off a feed from Logan Cooley to tie it 2-2 at 4:17.

Utah went 0-for-4 on the power play.
