MONTREAL - Alex Newhook’s goal 1:40 into overtime propelled the Montreal Canadiens to a thrilling 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night at the Bell Centre.

The Canadiens forced the extra session thanks to the late-game heroics of rookie Ivan Demidov, who tied the game at 17:37 of the third period.

Cole Caufield scored his 10th goal of the season and Juraj Slafkovsky scored his third goal in as many games for the Canadiens (9-3-0), who extended their winning streak to three games.

Nick Suzuki collected two assists to run his point streak to 11 games. It marks the longest point streak of Suzuki’s career as well as the highest active point streak in the NHL.
