The Canadiens have recorded two straight victories after it appeared as though they might fall out of the Eastern Conference playoff race.
Montreal has a two-point lead on Florida for the eighth, and final, postseason berth in the conference.
"It was just a big point for us and at this point you've got to have the emotions to get it done, and when it happens, when a team wins in overtime, it's pretty big," Saku Koivu said of the team's latest victory.
