Verified November 5 final hockey result from NHL.com, replacing the previous pre-game lineup story as Sports desk lead.
Montreal wins in overtime
Cole Caufield scored just 30 seconds into overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 5–4 win over the Utah Mammoth on Thursday, November 5, 2026 at Bell Centre. It was a successful return for captain Nick Suzuki, who recorded three points after missing six games. The contest's verified final score comes from the NHL's official recap, not a live widget or a projected outcome.
A late comeback brings extra time
Adam Engström tied the game with 5:06 remaining in the third period, setting up Caufield's overtime winner. Utah forward Logan Cooley scored a hat trick, while Montreal relied on late offence and goaltending to remain close. The result followed the Canadiens' previous overtime loss to Winnipeg. The game details and official player scoring totals are recorded by NHL.com.
What follows for Montreal
Suzuki's return provides another option for the Canadiens as the regular season progresses. However, one victory does not settle a team's playoff prospects or future injury status. CDN News publishes this as a dated completed-game story and does not present an outdated CFL schedule box or a score widget as live league information. Readers can consult the linked official NHL recap for box-score corrections and future game statistics.
