The Montreal Canadiens beat the Utah Mammoth 5-4 after a comeback, with Cole Caufield scoring just 30 seconds into overtime. The win follows a game that swung dramatically, after Montreal fell behind early and then erased the deficit to reach extra time.
Caufield’s overtime goal marks a notable personal milestone, with reports saying it is his 15th career overtime marker. Coverage also points to broader context within the game: Logan Cooley records a hat trick for Utah, while Montreal’s captain Nick Suzuki contributes a goal and two assists upon returning from a six-game absence. Across outlets, the emphasis is consistently on the Canadiens’ overtime execution and Caufield’s role, while one report also spotlights the historical framing of his overtime scoring record.
