Cole Caufield's overtime goal led the Montreal Canadiens to a thrilling 4-3 victory against the San Jose Sharks. This marked Caufield's impressive 28th goal of the season, solidifying his position as the team's highest scorer. Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki showcased his skills with two first-period goals, extending his personal multi-point streak to three games. Alex Newhook also found the net, scoring his first goal since February 4.

Goalkeeper Samuel Montembeault played a pivotal role, stopping 22 shots and securing his third consecutive win since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. On the contrary, the Sharks continued their struggle, having lost their last three games and remaining at the bottom of the NHL standings. Fabian Zetterlund, Nico Sturm, and Will Smith scored for San Jose, but they couldn't overcome their recent slump, which includes seven straight losses.
