Montreal 2, Toronto 2 (OT)

MONTREAL, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Jeff Hackett made a diving save on Mats Sundin in overtime and finished with 32 stops Saturday night as the Montreal Canadiens settled for a 2-2 tie with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

After spoiling the Detroit Red Wings' home opener Thursday with a 30-save performance, Hackett earned his second straight start in place of Hart and Vezina Trophy winner Jose Theodore. He surrendered a tying goal to defenseman Tomas Kaberle with 8:15 left in regulation but prevented a loss in the extra period.

Just 45 seconds into overtime, Hackett lost his stick but dived right and managed to get his arm on Sundin's point-blank shot.

Richard Zednik and Andreas Dackell scored second-period goals for the Canadiens, who still have not won a home game (0-2-1) since the Molson Centre was renamed the Bell Centre.

Travis Green had the other goal for Toronto and Ed Belfour stopped 29 shots after missing four games with an infected right thumb.
