It was a turnover just inside the Montreal Canadiens blue line that paved the way for a dramatic overtime winner that extended their season.

Nick Suzuki buried the game winning goal at 59 seconds of overtime, converting on a 2-on-0 rush with Cole Caulfield and keeping them alive in a must-win situation against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Game 6 will be on Saturday back at Bell Centre in Montreal, where the Leafs will have a second chance to advance to Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2004.
