Brandon Montour Sets Fastest OT Goal Record in NHL History

Brandon Montour of the Seattle Kraken made NHL history by scoring just four seconds into overtime, achieving the fastest overtime goal in league history during a 5-4 comeback victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The goal came immediately after Chandler Stephenson won the faceoff, allowing Montour to break in on goalie Jakub Dobes and shoot into the upper-right corner. This also tied the record for the fastest goal to start any period in NHL history. Montour finished the game with two goals and two assists, playing a critical role in Seattle's comeback after they had trailed by two goals. Jani Nyman, making his NHL debut, also contributed to the victory by scoring a power-play goal. The win places the Kraken seventh in the Pacific Division, still seeking a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.
