Patrik Laine, Habs edge Rangers in OT
MONTREAL -- Patrik Laine scored at 3:20 of overtime for the Montreal Canadiens, who trailed four times before rallying for a 5-4 win against the New York Rangers at Bell Centre on Sunday.
Laine scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers. Laine made no mistake on a feed to the slot from Kaiden Guhle, giving the Canadiens their only lead of the game at 3:20 of overtime.
Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine praised goalie Jakub Dobes for his stellar performance in the 5-4 overtime victory against the New York Rangers on Sunday.
Laine, 26 years old, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 208 pounds, has tallied 10 points in 13 games this season with the Habs.
Looking on at the other end was 23-year-old Jakub Dobes, who was making just his fifth career NHL start and his first on home ice. And yet, when the final horn sounded, it was the rookie netminder getting the better of the grizzled veteran as Dobes and the Canadiens defeated the New York Rangers 5-4 in a back-and-forth overtime thriller.
However, the Canadiens organization has just provided clarification. The real reason for Patrik Laine's absence at the moment, and why he is not accompanying the team to Washington, is that he is still not at 100%. See what the excellent journalist Eric Engels published.
Habs forward Patrik Laine scored his 400th NHL career points in the Montreal Canadiens' 5-3 win over the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday. Laine reached the milestone in his 495th game.
Laine, who scored his 11th of the season, lit the lamp for the 10th time while Montreal was on the power play. It seems like all 10 have come from the same spot in the same manner -- one-timers from the left faceoff circle.
The Canadiens won't have Patrik Laine, who hasn't played since New Year's Eve, in their lineup against the Capitals on Friday.
