MONTREAL -- The Canadiens put together a dramatic comeback that left the Senators speechless. Thomas Partey Jersey . Down 4-1 to the Senators with three and a half minutes to play on Saturday, Montreal scored three unanswered goals to force over time--including a David Desharnais buzzer-beater with less than a second on the clock--before Francis Bouillon scored in overtime for the 5-4 victory. "I dont really know what to say," said a visibly perplexed Marc Methot, who was on the ice for Ottawa on the game-tying goal. "It felt like we were in control, even in the third period. We werent playing on our heels, at least for a good amount of it. They got confidence, and they got the crowd back into it." Bouillon made for an unlikely overtime hero as he entered the game with no goals in 40 games this season. Lars Eller got the comeback underway for Montreal (36-25-7), scoring at 16:38 of the third to reduce the deficit to two. Eller pushed a rebound past a sprawled-out Robin Lehner for his first goal in his last 25 games. Captain Brian Gionta, who assisted Ellers goal, added another less than minute later as he deflected a P.K. Subban shot to the back of the net to make it 4-3. With the Habs on the power play, and their net empty for the extra attacker, Montreal sent everybody to the front of Lehners net and Desharnais put in the tying goal at 19:59 off a feed from Subban. "I looked up at the clock to see how much time there was. I saw quickly that there were fours seconds left," said Subban. "If I had the shot, Im sure it would have been blocked. I saw Davey (Desharnais) waving at me. Big players score in those big moments." The comeback wasnt without controversy. On the game-winning goal, Senators (28-25-13) players were convinced Lehner had frozen the puck long before it was poked away by Max Pacioretty onto Bouillons stick. After the game, referees apparently told Ottawa captain Jason Spezza that there was no whistle on the play because the building was too loud. "I have no idea what that means," said Sens coach Paul MacLean. "Thats the explanation we got. Im confused." "Im pretty frustrated," added Methot. "It was almost deafening towards the end when they scored. I have to be careful with the words I use. It looked like our goalie had possession of the puck. Its tough for the refs, I get that. Theres a lot of noise, a lot of distractions." The game marked the return of Carey Price, who saw his first NHL action since Feb. 8, prior to the Olympic break. Price was out of the lineup for eight games with a lower-body injury that he sustained in Sochi. The 26-year-old Price made 29 saves for his 27th win of the year. After the game, however, head coach Michel Therrien announced Price would not follow the team to Buffalo for their next game, presumably due to the injury. Montreal, with Peter Budaj and Dustin Tokarski in net, went 3-4-1 and conceded 28 goals without Price. Jason Spezza, Zack Smith, Ales Hemsky and Clarke MacArthur scored for Ottawa. The slumping Senators have now lost five of their last seven games and sit 12th in the Eastern Conference, six points out of a playoff spot. The Canadiens came flying out of the gate, with Daniel Briere putting one past Lehner on the teams third shot, 38 seconds into the first period. Spezza equalized against the run of play on the Sens first shot of the game at 3:08, beating Price with a rocket of a slap shot into the top corner of the net. Coming off back-to-back shutouts at the Sochi Games, the goal allowed was Prices first in more than 167 minutes of hockey. Ottawa took a 2-1 lead at 17:10 of the second period when Smith scored his 11th of the year on a breakaway. Smith took a long stretch pass from Karlsson at the blue line, was stopped by Price, but scored on his own rebound. Hemsky doubled their lead at 1:54 of the third, beating Price under the blocker for his seventh point in four games since being traded to the Senators. MacArthur made it 4-1 three minutes later. Notes: Lehner, who made 43 saves on the night, got the start for Ottawa in place of starter Craig Anderson (shoulder). Anderson was injured in the third period of Mondays loss to the Nashville Predators. ... Michael Bournival (concussion) missed his 10th consecutive game. ... Ottawa wore their heritage jerseys. ... Thomas Vanek has yet to score on 13 shots in four games since donning a Canadiens uniform. ... The last time the Habs and Senators met, on Jan. 16, P.K. Subban was criticized for celebrating his overtime-winner with gusto. The two teams play once more this season, on April 4 in the nations capital. Oliver Torres Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson knows few people will be giving the Charlotte Bobcats a chance to upset the Miami Heat in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Augusto Fernandez Jersey . The All-Pro left tackle agreed to a five-year contract with the Eagles on Wednesday. Peters was signed for 2014, and his new deal adds four years through 2018.The Vancouver Canucks (4-2) and Edmonton Oilers (4-3) close out the preseason Saturday at Rogers Arena. Ita€?s a rematch of Thursdaya€?s 2-1 victory for the Canucks at Rexall Place. Ryan Miller is slated to go the distance in goal for the Canucks while Ben Scrivens is the likely starter for the Oilers. The Canucks will go with a veteran line-up that will feature the fourth preseason appearance of Daniel and Henrik Sedin with new linemate Radim Vrbata. Linden Vey leads the Canucks in preseason scoring with two goals and five points. After playing the wing in Edmonton on Thursday, Vey will move back to the middle and centre a line with Derek Dorsett and Jannik Hansen. Chris Higgins will skate with Nick Bonino and Alex Burrows while Shawn Matthias plays between Nick Jensen and Zack Kassian. Brad Richardson and Tom Sestito took the morning skate, but it appears both will be extra bodies for tonighta€?s game. On defence, Kevin Bieksa, who missed practice Friday, is likely to be scratched for as well. Earlier in the day the Canucks re-assigned centre Cal Oa€??Reilly to AHL Utica. Andre Moreira Jersey. . The Oilers are using tonighta€?s game as one last look at a number of their young players. Third overall pick in this yeara€?s draft Leon Draisaitl will centre Anton Lander and Nail Yakupov while top defence prospects Darnell Nurse and Oscar Klefbom will also both suit up tonight. Veteran Oilers playing tonight include Jordan Eberle, Matt Hendricks, Boyd Gordon, Teddy Purcell and Justin Schultz. Both teams open their regular seasons midweek against Calgary. The Canucks visit the Flames on Wednesday while the Oilers host their provincial rivals on Thursday. Edmonton will be back in Vancouver one week from tonight for the Canucks home opener.
