It was a night full of twists across the NHL, but nowhere delivered more late-game drama than in Montreal, where the Canadiens staged a stunning last-second comeback to defeat the Nashville Predators 3–2 in overtime.

With just 20 seconds left in regulation, rising star Cole Caufield found the back of the net to tie the game and force OT. But the 22-year-old winger wasn’t finished. With only three seconds remaining in the extra frame, Caufield struck again—clinching a thrilling win for the Habs in front of a roaring home crowd at the Bell Centre.

Meanwhile, over on Long Island, it was Bo Horvat who stole the spotlight, netting a hat-trick to power the New York Islanders to their first victory of the season, a 4–2 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
