Alexander Radulov scored 51 seconds into overtime to lift the Montreal Canadiens to a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night.
Phillip Danault also scored and Carey Price stopped 21 shots for the Atlantic Division-leading Canadiens.
Radulov scored from the right circle on the game-winner.
Yanni Gourde scored for the Lightning and Andrei Vasilevskiy had 34 saves.
Gourde got a goal in his third straight game, coming on a redirection of Victor Hedman's shot tying it at 1 at 11:38 of the third. The forward has four goals in 17 career games.
Danault put a back-hander past Vasilevskiy with 5:36 left in the second to open the scoring after Hedman lost the puck near the Lightning net. Max Pacioretty got his 200th assist with Montreal on Danault's goal.
A potential go-ahead goal by Montreal's Jeff Petry with 3:38 left in the third was disallowed due to incidental conduct by Andreas Martinsen on Vasilevskiy. Andrew Shaw hit the crossbar earlier in the period.
Vasilevskiy stopped Dwight King's breakaway shot early in the first, and Brendan Gallagher's in-close chance during a second-period power play.
Montreal outshot the Lightning 17-6 during the second.
Price had a nice save on Nikita Kucherov's rebound try in the second, and turned aside Brayden Point's breakaway shot later in the period.
Kucherov, who has 38 goals and 80 points, returned after missing Thursday's 5-3 win over Detroit with illness.
NOTES: Tampa Bay C Steven Stamkos, out since right knee surgery in November, continues practicing and remains day to day. ... Montreal C Torrey Mitchell didn't play due to illness. ... Lightning C Tyler Johnson sat out his 11th consecutive game with a lower-body injury.
