Canadiens stun Penguins 3-2 in overtime for 1-0 series lead in NHL qualifier

Jeff Petry scored at 13:57 of overtime, Carey Price made 39 saves and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 on Saturday night in Game 1 of their best-of-five qualifying round series.

Petry picked up a loose puck in the right faceoff circle and ripped a shot past goalie Matt Murray for the winner.

The game was played at empty Scotiabank Arena in the NHL's return following a 142-day absence after COVID-19 ground the sport to a halt.
