EDMONTON – The Canadiens pushed the Oilers to the bring but left Edmonton with only one point as a result of a heartbreaking 3-2 overtime loss at Rogers Place on Tuesday.
Montreal fought back from down two goals in the third period, but Leon Draisaitl ended it for the Oilers on the power play at 3:18 of overtime.
Habs fans showed up in numbers in downtown Edmonton, as they so often do. “Go Habs Go!” chants echoed throughout the building all night, in what felt like a crowd that was split down the middle – half Habs, half Oilers.
