Desharnais stars in OT as Habs beat Canucks 4-3

MONTREAL - David Desharnais scored 3:25 into overtime to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a comeback 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night.

Desharnais completed a tic-tac-toe play with P.K. Subban and Tomas Fleischmann on a rush with a one-timer from the right side.

Fleischmann, playing his 600th NHL game, beat Jacob Markstrom on a rush down the right side to tie the game at 16:52 of the third period and complete a three-goal comeback by Montreal.

Adam Cracknell and Jared McCann scored in the first frame and Daniel Sedin had a power-play goal early in the second for the Canucks (7-6-6), who dropped to 1-3-2 on a seven-game road trip that ends in Winnipeg on Wednesday night.

Lars Eller and Max Pacioretty also scored for Montreal (14-3-2).

Since the Canucks ended Montreal's nine-game winning run to start the season with a 5-1 decision in Vancouver on Oct. 27, Montreal is 5-3-2.
