What happened: Adam Engstrom scored his first career NHL goal in the third period to pull Montreal even on Thursday night. Cole Caufield then sealed the victory in overtime, scoring his 11th goal of the season to cap a five-goal performance for the Canadiens.

Why it matters: Caufield's scoring pace continues to anchor Montreal's offense in the opening month of the 2026-27 campaign. Engstrom's breakthrough on the blue line provides secondary scoring depth as the club looks to climb the Atlantic Division standings.

What to watch: The Canadiens look to carry the offensive momentum into their upcoming weekend matchup.
