Cole Caulfield delivered a game winning goal and overtime to give the Montreal

Canadians a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday at the Bell Center.

It was his 40th goal of the season, making him the first halves forward to reach that mark

since Vincent Danfiles back in 1993. 94.

Suzuki set up the play with a perfect backdoor pass,

and Caulfield buried it past Bruins' goalie Jeremy Swaman with just 22 seconds left in.

Extra time. He's now scored in three straight games,

and eight of his last nine, putting him on pace for 49 goals over 81 games despite missing one.

Recently due to illness, fans are buzzing about the timing.

As this win helped Montreal snap a potential third straight loss and tighten their grip on a wild

card spot. The Canadians sit at 37 wins, 20 losses, and 10 overtime losses for 84 points,

just two ahead of the Bruins at 37, 23 and 8.

The halves showed resilience by coming back from one nothing and two-to-one deficits,

marking their league-leading 22nd comeback win this year.

Pavel Zaka scored both for Boston,

whilst Suzuki and Josh Anderson replied for Montreal.

Looking ahead, Montreal faces another key match up Thursday

against the Detroit Red Wings who matched the Bruins record,

but trail in the wild card race. Due to fewer regulation wins,

Caulfield's hot streak could push him toward 50 goals,

a feat last done by a halves forward in 1989-90.
