Hutson Buried It at 2:09 of OT and the Canadiens Just Took Game 3 From Tampa
The Montreal Canadiens are heading home with momentum. Hutson scored at 2:09 of overtime on April 24 to lift Montreal past the Lightning in Game 3 of their first-round matchup. This one went back and forth all night, but when it mattered most in OT, the Canadiens had the answer.
How It Went Down
Texier got things rolling early with the opening goal for Montreal. Then Tampa Bay's Point answered back with a power play goal to tie things up. That's where regulation ended, so overtime it was. Texier set up Hutson for the overtime winner at 2:09, and just like that, the Canadiens had their Game 3 victory locked down.
