Cole Caufield gives his team victory in overtime

The Canadiens made the final stop on their journey out West tonight to take on the Seattle Kraken.

The Habs won two of three games on the road.

Here's the Habs lineup.

And the Kraken.

The Montrealers started the game well and their efforts paid off as they got on the scoreboard first.

Cole Caufield opened the scoring for the Habs, scoring his eighth goal of the season into a mostly empty net after a sweet feed from his eternal accomplice Nick Suzuki. Noah Dobson also had an assist.

The Canadiens did it again before the end of the first period on a power play when Juraj Slafkowski beat goaltender Joey Daccord. Suzuki and Caufield contributed the assists.

2:0 Montreal after 20 minutes of play.

The Canadiens had to fight back to start the second period, but the Kraken was unable to capitalize on the opportunity to close the gap.

Although the Montreal club was more calm offensively in the second period, they continued to defend very tightly, limiting their opponents' chances even though they were offering them another power play.

The rest of the period passed without incident, which suited the visitors.

After two periods the score remains unchanged – 2:0.

The Habs allowed the Kraken just ten shots in 40 minutes, but only twelve.

“Kraken” performed much more convincingly in the third period, but Jakub Dobes managed to close the gate.

However, Seattle's efforts were cut short when the Canadiens were awarded the power play.

Alex Newhook took advantage and made it 3-0 on the second power play. Kirby Duch and Dobson assisted in goal for Newhook.

It was the Habs' second power play goal in two games.

It was then the home team's turn to take advantage of the power play to open the scoring when Brandon Montour foiled Dobs.

Seattle then cut the Habs' lead to one goal when Shane Wright scored on a four-on-four play. Montour earned his second point of the game.

The home team went all-in when they pulled their goalkeeper. A gamble that paid off as Montour tied the game with his second goal of the game, his third point, with less than 1:43 left in the game.

The game went into overtime.

However, Caufield made sure to end the night quickly, scoring his second goal of the game with 44 seconds left in overtime.

Canadiens win with a score of 4-3.

The top line scored seven points in the Habs' win, and Suzuki had at least one point with three assists for his 10th straight game.

The Canadiens picked up their third win of the season to complete a four-game trip to the West.

The next game is Saturday at 7:00 pm when the Habs host the Ottawa Senators.

– His first hat-trick.

– Big contract signing in Dallas.
