Montreal 1, Carolina 1 (ot)
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA (TICKER) -- Sami Kapanen's disputed goal with 11 seconds left in regulation helped the Carolina Hurricanes extend their NHL record for consecutive home ties to seven as they battled to a 1-1 draw with the Montreal Canadiens.
Kapanen took a feed in the left faceoff circle from Rod Brind'Amour and put a wrist shot over goaltender Jose Theodore that hit the back of the net and bounced out. The red light did not go on and play was allowed to continue as time ran out.
As the buzzer sounded ending the third period, officials reviewed the play and the goal was allowed, setting off an argument between the Canadiens bench and referees Terry Gregson and Mike Hasenfratz.
"I didn't think it was in," Theodore said. "I thought it was off the crossbar. I wasn't even nervous when they were looking at it. When the refs called it good, I was kind of surprised. But after looking at the replay myself, it was definitely a good call." "I too thought it hit the crossbar," Kapanen said. "I almost threw my stick to the other end of the ice, I was so frustrated. But I wasn't sure because the way it came out was a little suspect. After seeing the replay, though, it was definitely in."
The goal was Kapanen's 26th of the season.
With the tie, the Hurricanes improved to 75 points, 10 more than second-place Washington in the Southeast Division. Carolina is closing in on its first division title since 1986-87, when the franchise was known as the Hartford Whalers and won the Adams Division.
The Canadiens, who posted a 3-2 home victory over Carolina at home on Saturday, have 70 points, two ahead of the New York Rangers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.
"If someone told me we would get three points out of four (against them), I would have taken it," Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. "That said, it's tough to lose a point in the last 10 seconds."
"As long as we keep getting points, we're fine," Theodore said.
Richard Zednik scored the lone Canadiens goal 7:13 into the third. Skating between the left boards and the circle, he faked a slap shot, then slid the puck under goalie Arturs Irbe, who came out in front to cut down the angle.
"He faked it pretty good but he moved around and I did get a piece of it," Irbe said. "But it wasn't good enough because I couldn't get my stick down in time.
"I thought I might (have had) to pitch a shutout," Irbe added. "And I would have except for a nifty play by Zednik."
It was Zednik's 18th goal, leaving him one shy of his career high two seasons ago.
Jeff O'Neill had a chance to put the Hurricanes on the board late in the first period when he skated into the slot but his slap shot hit the post with Theodore out of position.
Saku Koivu had an opportunity to put Montreal ahead with four minutes to play in the second but his shot went wide.
A few moments earlier, Martin Gelinas was robbed by Theodore on a shot from in front.
"They had some real good chances in the first period," Carolina coach Paul Maurice said. "We had some great ones, they had some good ones. I'm just really happy that we don't have to see (Theodore) again. He has always played his best hockey against us."
Both teams were 0-for-4 on the power play.
