Ilya Kovalchuk scored 4:08 into overtime as the visiting Montreal Canadiens snapped their second eight-game winless skid of the season with a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. The goal was Kovalchuk’s fourth of the season and first with Montreal after signing a one-year, two-way contract. The Canadiens also lost eight in a row when it went 0-5-3 from Nov. 16-Dec. 1. Tierney skated in on Price before the netminder closed the pads with 8:06 remaining in the second period. Canadiens alternate captain Brendan Gallagher did not make the trip to Ottawa after experiencing headaches following Thursday’s 4-2 setback to Edmonton.
