Montreal’s Phillip Danault, who entered the game with two goals, completed a hat trick late in the third period and Paul Byron scored in overtime as the Canadiens beat the Golden Knights 4-3 in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Danault’s third goal of the game came with 1:25 left in the third period, setting up Byron’s backhand goal 1:59 into OT.
