Son 21e de la saison porte la marque à 1-1. Son premier but de la saison crée l'égalité. Son 34e de la saison fait 2-1 New York. Devant le filet de la Sainte-Flanelle, le Québécois Samuel Montembeault a repoussé 27 des 30 rondelles envoyées dans sa direction. 19:56- BUT NYI 2-1 Lors du jeu de puissance, Bo Horvat lance de derrière le filet. Son tir vif a raison de Semyon Varlamov. Par ailleurs, c’était le premier match d’Alexander Romanov à Montréal depuis qu’il a été échangé à l’organisation de la Grosse Pomme pendant le dernier repêchage du circuit Bettman. Matt Martin a cependant redonné la priorité aux visiteurs, mais Kirby Dach a envoyé tout le monde en période de surtemps. L’attaquant québécois a ainsi engrangé son septième point de la saison, lui qui disputait un huitième match depuis son rappel du Rocket de Laval en janvier. Les hommes de l’entraîneur-chef Martin St-Louis ont démontré beaucoup de détermination en nivelant le pointage deux fois en troisième période. Grâce à un magnifique tir des poignets, le natif de Halifax a inscrit un premier filet en 2022-2023. Pour la première fois en huit sorties avec leur gilet bleu poudre cette saison, les joueurs du Canadien de Montréal ont finalement connu le bonheur de la victoire.

Alors que le grand attaquant se poste directement devant le filet, il profite de la circulation pour enfiler le troisième but du CH. L'ancien du Canadien Alexander Romanov décoche un tir de la pointe dévié devant par Matt Martin et déjoue Samuel Montembeault pour faire 3-2. Avec quatre secondes à jouer, Bo Horvat effectue une remise devant le filet qui dévie sur le gardien pour finir dans le fond du but. Les Islanders mettent peu de temps à répliquer. Si les joueurs du CH ont pu passer du bon temps sur la plage au cours de la dernière semaine, les Islanders, eux, n'avaient pas chômé. Le Tricolore a effectivement remporté son match 4-3 face aux Islanders de New York, un premier gain avec cet uniforme.

Mike Matheson scored with 32 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Canadiens a 4-3 win over the New York Islanders on Saturday at the Bell Centre.

The Canadiens traded Romanov to the Islanders for a first-round draft pick, which they flipped to Chicago in return for forward Kirby Dach. Harvey-Pinard, who started the new year with the Laval Rocket, has five goals and two assists in eight games with the Canadiens. Bo Horvat, who was acquired from the Vancouver Canucks this month, showed the value of putting pucks to the net when he scored a power-play goal to give the Islanders a 2-1 lead with five seconds remaining in the second period. Rafaēl Harvey-Pinard continued to make the case for regular employment in the NHL with the primary assist on the goal. Dach’s 12th of the season came nearly six minutes after Matt Martin deflected a shot from former Canadiens defenceman Alexander Romanov to give the Islanders a 3-2 lead.

If anyone had to make a prediction who the top six would be of those eight in three years, it would be impossible to make that call. Justin Barron continues to improve his game in the second half of the season. Add to the mix, Mike Matheson who is young enough to put in some very good years on the new blue line. Still another to arrive soon is Lane Hutson who is the most exciting prospect on the blue line in college hockey since Cale Makar. A decade ago, Harris would have been described as a puck-mover, but to get that designation now, a player must be bringing the puck up ice and making passes at a significantly high rate. Harris will never be an offensive star, but his defence is already that of a veteran in his first year. The centre position after breaking down with the loss of Philip Danault is in recovery mode. Kirby Dach continues to put in respectable shot-share numbers as he transitions this season from the wing. When scouts are watching for what they hope he can bring in the playoffs, they want to see him drive the net and stay there. Meanwhile, it continues to go spectacularly for Harvey-Pinard, who is making the most of this call-up from Laval. Suzuki has been shouldering a big responsibility for the club facing the best centres in the league nightly, playing 22 minutes per game. After a 10-day break, the Montreal Canadiens were finally back at it for their traditional Super Bowl weekend of afternoon games.

Mike Matheson scored the winning goal to lift the Montreal Canadiens to 4-3 overtime decision over the New York Islanders on Saturday afternoon.

Montembeault took home the Molson Cup awarded to Montreal’s player of the month. Barron scored his second NHL goal to level the score for Montreal at 4:02 of the final frame. Nelson extended his career-high point streak to 10 games, the longest for New York since Josh Bailey's 11-game streak in 2017. The winger then sent a pass across the crease for Suzuki who put the Habs up 1-0 at 12:57. After a lengthy video review, the officials indicated the play was onside and confirmed Matheson’s winner. After Canadiens successfully killed Mike Hoffman's slashing penalty, the winger found himself on a breakaway.

Savvy makes him very comfortable during the game and probably does some correction on the bench with him, so I think these reps with him, at that pace and against those players, is so valuable because not only is he experiencing them live and in the trenches but he’s also experiencing them with Savvy. He’s had to fight and scratch and claw his way to the NHL, and he continues to do that every night. And I think Savvy does a lot of coaching.” “Him and Savvy are paired together and Jaco is very comfortable playing with a veteran like Savvy.

Samuel Montembeault's not elite, but the Montreal Canadiens need an everyday goalie instead. He's proven to be at least that.

1 for right now though, considering the commitment the Canadiens have made to the latter. Having effectively been forced into that role for two seasons now, Montembeault’s proven to be at least that recently, proving doubters wrong in the process. At the very least, Montembeault should realistically continue to play a prominent role during it, playing better and better with increasing regularity. He’s also maybe the goalie on this list with the most unlikely path to success, Montembeault included. Similar to Montembeault, he’s been thrust into the position in which he now finds himself due to injury. As Vanecek is one draft year older, it makes one wonder if Montembeault is similarly a season away from taking the reins as a No. Of course, it does present the intriguing hypothetical question: If Montembeault does end up leading the Canadiens to a championship from out of nowhere, would you accept the big-money contract that comes with the victory along with a potential ensuing fall from grace? 39 overall in 2014, the Capitals brought the Czech goalie over to North America for the 2015-16 season, during which he played 32 ECHL games. Unfortunately, having signed him to a six-year, $36 million deal in 2021, the Blues are stuck with him to the point his backup in 2021-22, Ville Husso, despite posting vastly superior numbers and appearing in more games during the regular season, was allowed to hit free agency. [off waivers from the Florida Panthers](https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/canadiens-claim-samuel-montembeault-off-waivers/c-326526678). Drafted 88th overall at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Binnington got in only one NHL appearance between that point and the start of his rise to stardom, a journey that includes a 40-game ECHL stint in 2013-14. Now, just to reiterate, Montembeault is not Hasek, nor should anyone who expects to be taken seriously ever compare the two with a straight face.

MONTREAL (AP) — Mike Matheson scored in overtime to lift the Montreal Canadiens over the New York Islanders 4-3 on Saturday.

Barron scored his second NHL goal to level the score for Montreal at 4:02 of the final frame. Montembeault took home the Molson Cup, which is awarded to Montreal’s player of the month. Horvat scored from the corner of the boards, banking the puck off Montembeault and into the net. Nelson extended his career-high point streak to 10 games, the longest for New York since Josh Bailey’s 11-game streak in 2017. Montreal opened the scoring in the opening frame after Josh Anderson, double-teamed along the boards, found Rafael Harvey-Pinard. The former Vancouver Canucks captain collected his fourth point (three goals, one assist) in four games as an Islander. Their final game wearing their “retro reverse” light blue uniforms was also the Canadiens’ first win in the alternate garb, going 1-6-1 this season. Louis jokingly shared his relief that the Canadiens will not be wearing the jerseys again this season. After a lengthy video review, the officials indicated the play was onside and confirmed Matheson’s winner. New York netminder Semyon Varlamov stopped Hoffman’s initial shot but Matheson bagged the winner on the rebound. “It took a long time, we were all kind of talking and trying to figure out what they could have been looking at,” Montreal’s Kirby Dach said. “I think a lot of us knew it was close,” Bo Horvat said.

Alexander Romanov's return to Montreal shines a light on Dach and how he represents what the Canadiens must continue to do.

A few more deals like this could accelerate the process, but it will require the same creativity, bold talent evaluation and deep comprehension of team building that resulted in this total win of a trade. Dach’s tying goal Saturday was his 12th of the season, and he’s now seven short of the 19 he scored in 152 games with the Blackhawks. Louis](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/blues/) talked about how the roots of the Bruins’ culture had led to a tree that grew so strong, it can withstand the movement of personnel in and out around its core. You look at Tampa, I’ve got buddies on the team and the culture they have and the way they respect each other and the way they want to play hard for each other, it’s pretty phenomenal. “I just feel like I tried to rush things, I tried to rush becoming the player I wanted to be and not really focusing on the path, just on the end result,” Dach said. It’s a hard league to win in, you’ve got to play 82 games and four rounds of seven games of war, so there’s not a lot of room for error. What makes the Dach acquisition impactful is that he’s already gone through it to some extent, and has been able to learn from veterans he named Saturday like [Canadiens](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/canadiens/) and the [New York Islanders](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/islanders/), the puck was dumped into the corner behind the Islanders’ net. And every night, on the way home, Dach learned something about this league and what it takes to succeed. The Islanders needed a left defenceman and had the No. At the first television timeout, Romanov got a video tribute for his first game back in Montreal. Former Canadiens defenceman [Alexander Romanov](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/alexander-romanov-9DuCUDYM3qpUgfIt/) turned to go retrieve it, and in hot pursuit behind was the player Romanov was traded away to acquire, [Kirby Dach](https://theathletic.com/nhl/player/kirby-dach-taOXTkhc7ehcB9fu/).

Mike Matheson scored at 4:38 of overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 win against the New York Islanders at Bell Centre on Saturday.

Horvat scored a power-play goal with five seconds remaining in the second period to put the Islanders ahead 2-1. "I think we've got to do a better job, especially playing with the lead," New York defenseman Noah Dobson said. "That was their fourth game after the break and that was our first, but that didn't show. "No, that was a great pickup by him and I just tried to get into the rush. I just tried to make contact with the puck." "I put a great pass in his feet and made him deal with it," Matheson said.
