MONTREAL – Defenceman John Moore scored in overtime to give the visiting New Jersey Devils a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the league-leading Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.
Patrik Elias and Kyle Palmieri scored in regulation time for the Devils (12-9-2). In his first career game at the Bell Centre, Corey Schneider stopped 29-of-31 shots.
Alex Galchenyuk scored twice for Montreal (18-4-3). In net for the injured Carey Price, backup Mike Condon made 28 saves.
New Jersey returned the favour for Friday’s loss, when Montreal came back from two goals down to beat the Devils in a shootout in the first game of their home-and-home series. Goaltenders Condon and Schneider started both games of the series.
After Palmieri tied things up with 22 seconds remaining in the third period, Moore beat Condon on a breakaway at 2:29 of overtime.
The Habs are now 4-0-1 in the second game of a back-to-back series this season.
