Alexei Kovalev scored with 1:25 left to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night.
Kovalev's goal came just 43 seconds after the Blues tied it at 3. It also snapped a four-game losing streak for the Canadiens, who have lost five of six.
Montreal jumped out to a 3-0 lead and chased Blues goalie Curtis Sanford early in the second period. But St. Louis came back and tied it with 2:08 left on Glen Metropolit's power-play goal off a rebound.
Doug Weight scored his 11th goal midway through the second to get St. Louis on the board and David Backes made it 3-2 with a goal seven minutes into the third period. The Blues thought they had tied it at 3 a few minutes later when Lee Stempniak scored, only to have the referees wave it off for an offside call.
The Blues go on the road next to face off with the Calgary Flames. The puck drops Monday night at 8:30 P.M. CT.
Here are the highlights of the game (in French, sorry):
