Draisaitl scores in OT to lift Oilers to 3-2 win over Red Wings

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Nick Suzuki and Brendan Gallagher each had a goal and assist and the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 on Sunday night.

Suzuki extended his NHL point streak to seven games. He scored in the first period and assisted Cole Caufield on a power-play goal late in the second period. Montreal won consecutive games for the first time this season.

Jake Evans also scored for Montreal and Cayden Primeau made 23 saves to secure the win.

Aleksei Kolosov made 20 saves in his NHL debut for Philadelphia, which lost for the seventh time in eight games.

Travis Sanheim had a pair of goals for Philadelphia. He and Travis Konecny scored 29 seconds apart in the final three minutes to pull within a goal.

TAKEAWAYS

Canadiens: Mike Matheson and David Savard were key to the Canadiens’ defensive effort, getting in the way of several shots. Matheson blocked seven and Savard blocked four.

Flyers: Kolosov became the first Belarus-born goalie to play in the NHL. The Flyers are looking to settle an unstable goaltending situation. His signature save came on a sprawling stop on a 2-on-0 breakaway when he slid post-to-post to make a pad save on Caufield.

KEY MOMENT

Montreal defenceman Logan Mailloux intentionally fired a shot into traffic and it redirected off Gallagher’s leg and over Kolosov’s shoulder to give Montreal a 2-1 lead early in the second period.

KEY STAT

19-6: The Flyers have really struggled in the second period this year and have been outscored by their opponents by 13 goals. It was more of the same in the second period against Montreal, as the Canadiens outscored the Flyers 3-0.

UP NEXT

Canadiens: Host the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday.

Flyers: Visit the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.

WINNIPEG – A suspect has been arrested in Winnipeg in an assault that police say happened when a man broke into a secure area of a University of Manitoba residence and entered a woman’s room.

The Winnipeg Police Service says the 46-year-old suspect was arrested when a person reported seeing someone late Friday night who matched a description that investigators released only hours after the incident occurred earlier that day.

He faces various break-and enter-charges, along with charges of sexual assault, robbery, and overcoming resistance by attempting to choke, suffocate or strangle another person.

Police earlier said they responded to the report of break, enter and assault at 4:45 a.m. Friday in a student housing complex on the premises of the University of Manitoba on Dafoe Road.

Officers met with a woman who reported an intruder entered her room and assaulted her, and that she managed to fight him off while calling for help.

Police say university security staff were alerted and police were contacted, and that the woman was treated for injuries and was in stable condition afterward.

Const. Dani McKinnon said Saturday the suspect was known to police, but she would not confirm if he was the same person with a similar name and age as a man who was the subject of a sex-offender notification by the Manitoba government in May.

The province’s justice ministry had warned at the time that an inmate was being released from Stony Mountain Institution on a sentence of being unlawfully at large. It said he had a lengthy criminal record including convictions for sexual assault with a weapon, armed robbery, breaking and entering to commit theft, theft, assault and numerous breaches of recognizance.

The warning said that while he’d participated in treatment programming in the past, he was still considered high risk to reoffend in a sexual and/or sexually violent manner, and that all females, both adults and children, were at risk.

SASKATOON – Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe says some incumbent governments in Canada have had it rough heading into election season, but he’s confident his party will hold onto power.

Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick’s Progressive Conservative Party was defeated by Liberal Party Leader Susan Holt in a landslide election last week, while voters in British Columbia saw a tight race between David Eby’s NDP and John Rustad’s Conservative Party.

Moe says it’s shaping up to be a tough race in Saskatchewan as well, but he and his 61 candidates are focused on their party’s plan to create a strong economy and a bright future.

Moe has said his Saskatchewan Party, if re-elected Monday, would bring broad tax relief and a promise to continue withholding federal carbon levy payments to Ottawa.

The politician hailing from Prince Albert didn’t have any planned campaign stops Sunday, but spent Saturday rallying supporters at an event in Saskatoon.

Early voting ended on Saturday, and polls are closed until Monday.
