Ben Chiarot and Jake Evans were the Montreal goalscorers - the latter burying a highlight-reel tally to force the extra frame.

On the injury front, Jonathan Drouin has missed three games since being struck in the head by a puck against Detroit on November 2 and is not expected to be in uniform against Calgary.
Cedric Paquette will likewise not be in uniform and is expected to be out at least 10 days.
Absent from practice on Wednesday, Christian Dvorak for his part should be in the lineup against Calgary.
On Wednesday evening, Ryan Poehling and Mattias Norlinder (conditioning stint) were both
called up from Laval
following the Rocket's game against Belleville.
More details regarding Thursday's roster will become available following the team's morning skate in Brossard.
At the other end of the ice, the Flames arrive in Montreal coming off a 4-1 home loss to San Jose on Tuesday. Andrew Mangiapane was the lone goalscorer for Calgary against the Sharks, with his team-leading eighth of the season.
A former North Division foe, the Flames have quickly settled into their more habitual Pacific Division this season, currently sitting second with a 7-2-3 record through 12 games.
Elias Lindholm and Johnny Gaudreau lead the team in points with 14 each, forming a top line to watch with Matthew Tkachuk.
