SEATTLE(AP) — Cole Caufield set a Montreal franchise record with his 11th career overtime goal, lifting the Canadiens to a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday after they squandered a 3-0 lead midway through the third period.

Caufield, who had two goals and an assist, moved into a tie for the NHL lead with his ninth goal of the season. He skated behind the net before sneaking back toward the line to catch Kraken goalie Joey Daccord off guard and tuck the puck inside the post 44 seconds into OT.

Caufield, who had a career-high 37 goals and 70 points last season, has four multigoal games this season. The 2019 first-round draft pick scored twice to beat Seattle in Montreal's home opener on Oct. 14 , including the overtime winner that night in a 5-4 decision.
