NHL: Atlanta 4, Montreal 3 (OT)

ATLANTA, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- A power-play goal by Ilya Kovalchuk in overtime lifted Atlanta to a 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens Saturday.

Kovalchuk, who also scored in regulation, took a pass at the point and fired a shot from the left circle that beat Carey Price at 1:18 of the extra period.

"We found a way to win tonight," Kovalchuk said. "We played simple hockey in the last 40 minutes and got the puck in deep."

Christoph Schubert and Colby Armstrong each had a goal and an assist to help Atlanta end a three-game losing streak. Johan Hedberg made 16 saves in the win.

Andrei Kostitsyn scored two goals and Glen Metropolit added a goal for Montreal. Carey Price had 30 saves.

Atlanta scored all three of its regulation goals in the second period and outshot Montreal 35-19 in the game.
