Canadiens vs Red Wings Top Six Minutes: The comeback kids win it in OT!

Alex Galchenyuk and David Desharnais save the day! The Habs tie the game with minutes left before Davey's overtime magic gives Montreal a 6-1 record.

Jiri Sekac sits for Dale Weise and Pavel Datsyuk makes his season debut for the Red Wings.
Why do I have a bad feeling about this one?

Sara Diamond just won the Canadiens' anthem competition, right?. They didn't even need one.
Habs vs Wings isn't much a rivalry these days, but give them one playoff series and that'll change quick.
Habs forwards best keep their head up when Niklas Kronwall is on the ice.
DD takes a 'holding the stick' penalty behind the Wings' net, 200 feet from his own.
Pacioretty on a shorthanded 2-on-1 with Plek, and he tries to pass! He's not going to score 40 playing like that.
With Darren Helm screening him, Carey Price takes the time to carefully tilt Helm's helmet from the back so that it dips in front over his eyes. What a guy. Somewhere Sean Avery is smiling. [GIF]
Weise isn't trying anything fancy tonight. Hard-nosed hockey. Message received.
4th line of Moen, Malhotra, and Prust just spent the most time of any other in the offensive zone.

Mike Babcock is going to leave the Red Wings to coach the Leafs? It's so crazy it might just happen.
Pacioretty thinks he's pitching for the Kansas City Royals.
Trent McCleary's at the game, which only revived too many memories of Habs players almost dying on the ice.
Fearless prediction: Gallagher will lead the league in goalie interference penalties by the end of the season.
Clearly the Red Wings are waiting for Montreal to score first to deflate their chances of winning.
RDS pans a sleepy Bell Centre crowd while announcing that the baseball game has had more action than this one.
Markov just gave Datsyuk a little how-do-you-do crosscheck.
~~Abdelkader pots a loose puck off an awkward Zetterberg rebound that hit the post.~~
Upon further review, that awkward rebound bounced off of Subban and crossed the line before finding Abdelkader's stick. Sigh.
Habs might never score first this season.
Oh boy! Chucky is ANGRY. Scrum ensues.
Quincey started it. Habs to the PP.
Parenteau hits a post (he's been hanging out with Bourque too much).
Another scrum. Maybe there's enough fodder here for a rivalry.

Quincey and Galchenyuk still mixing it up in the third period. Score too close to drop 'em, though.
Weise is tonight's first? Kronwall victim.
The Habs have been called for at least 17 offsides tonight. Habs might be winning without them.
Rene Bourque finished a check!
Emelin also gives Datsyuk a how-do-you-do crosscheck, which is obviously Russian for "How's that separated shoulder doing?"
If this keeps up, there will be no highlights tonight.
Someone needs to remind the Habs that they were eliminated by the Rangers in a 1-0 game not all that long ago.
Datsyuk's shoulder looks just fine as he releases a spinorama backhand goal on Price.
Good thing Abdelkader interfered, or this game would be as good as over. No goal. [GIF]
Pacioretty flies through the air like superman. That's two for embellishment.
Galchenyuk walks all over Kyle Quincey, literally, and nets a wrap around goal to end our misery. Hallelujah!
~~Shutout.~~
This game just got real interesting with two minutes left. Both teams pressing for a regulation win. Those loser points add up quick.
Sometimes Malholtra wins faceoffs so well the puck ends up back in the Habs zone.
Gallagher has some words for Quincey as the buzzer sounds.
Habs secure at least a point!

Yup!
Just when you're ready to ship him down to Hamilton or trade him for a bag of pucks to give Galchenyuk the #1 center role, David Desharnais wins a game in extra innings.
Another comeback win for your 6-1 Habs, folks.
