Joel Armia scored the tying goal early in the third period and Jake Allen stopped 42 shots, plus all three in the shootout, as the Montreal Canadiens overcame another two-goal deficit to beat the visiting Winnipeg Jets 4-3 on Saturday night.
Montreal overcame a pair of two-goal deficits during Thursday's 4-3 overtime victory against visiting Columbus.
With Montreal trailing 3-2, the veteran Armia, in his season debut after opening the campaign in the AHL, found himself amid a two-on-one rush with teammate Kaiden Guhle and beat Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit (26 saves) just 1:54 into the third.
Thanks to some solid work from Allen, the game eventually went to a shootout, where Nick Suzuki scored the lone goal. The Canadiens have won two straight games and four of five.
Adam Lowry scored twice and Nino Niederreiter had a goal and an assist for the Jets, who had won three straight games.
Golden Knights 4, Kings 3 (SO)

Drew Doughty, Alex Laferriere and Trevor Lewis scored goals for the Kings, who had a two-game winning streak snapped.
Eichel, going after Thompson made a pad save on Trevor Moore to open the shootout, fired a wrist shot past Talbot's glove side for what proved to be the game-decider. Thompson made a pad save on Pierre-Luc Dubois in the second round and sealed the win with a glove save of a Kevin Fiala try in the third round.

Panthers 3, Kraken 2
Nick Cousins scored the go-ahead goal into an empty net with 5:52 left in the third period as Florida defeated Seattle in Sunrise, Fla.
