Must see: Mantha’s gorgeous OT winner

Mantha's gorgeous OT winner

Anthony Mantha keeps the puck in, then stickhandles around two Canadiens before going top shelf to give the Red Wings a 2-1 overtime win.

"I thought we grinded one out," Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall said. "It wasn't pretty all the time, but no passengers, everybody was going. Even though they scored, it felt like in [overtime] we carried the play and we were trying to make something happen, and in the end obviously we came away with two points."

"Obviously, to get that power-play goal early was a big thing. I would have liked to have another one, but I think the big difference in the game by a country mile was our competitive level was excellent." - Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill
