WASHINGTON (AP) — Nick Suzuki scored at 1:15 of overtime to give the surging Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Friday night.

Suzuki got to the front of the net and put the puck up and over goalie Logan Thompson. The Canadiens are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games.

Cole Caufield and Josh Anderson also scored for Montreal. Jakub Dobes stopped 15 shots to improve to 3-0-0 in the NHL.
