VANCOUVER -- Henrik and Daniel Sedin salvaged a late meltdown by leading the Vancouver Canucks to victory in overtime.

After getting caught on the ice when the Montreal Canadiens tied the game with 2:33 left in the third period, Henrik Sedin set up Daniel for the winning goal on a power play with 2:15 left in overtime to lead the Canucks to a 3-2 win on Thursday night at Rogers Arena.

With Tom Gilbert off for interference in the offensive zone and the power play winding down, Henrik sent twin brother Daniel in alone behind the defense and he beat Carey Price high over the blocker.

Brad Richardson put the Canucks ahead by two 2:17 into the third period, but Alex Galchenyuk started Montreal's comeback by deflecting in a P.K. Subban point shot with 7:49 left. Former Canucks forward Dale Weise set up Max Pacioretty for the tying goal just over five minutes later.

Weise, who was traded to the Canadiens last season after struggling to get into Vancouver's lineup, took a pass in the high slot and drew goaltender Ryan Miller out of his crease with a good fake before feeding across for Pacioretty, who one-timed it past Miller before he could recover.

Nick Bonino also scored and Miller finished with 23 saves for the Canucks, who swept a three-game homestand.

Price made 27 saves for the Canadiens, who finished 1-1-1 on Western Canada trip after winning eight of their first nine games to start the season.

Both goalies made highlight saves to keep the first period scoreless.

Miller got his right pad down and across on Weise's breakaway less than four minutes in, and Price pushed across to rob Bonino on a 2-on-1 chance down low in the final minute of the period.

Price, who also got his blocker on Jannik Hansen's 2-on-1 shot off the rush six minutes into the first period, got a break when Shawn Matthias hit the post with an open net on another 2-on-1 down low out of the left corner four minutes into the second period.

Miller kept it scoreless with a great blocker save off Brendan Gallagher in the slot on a power play two minutes later, and the Canucks opened the scoring on a controversial play at 8:29.

Montreal defensemen Alexei Emelin was knocked down and out of the play on a high hit by Alexandre Burrows right after making a bad pass up the middle that was intercepted easily by Bonino. With Emelin lying on the ice, Bonino broke in with Derek Dorsett, got defenseman Jarred Tinordi to commit to the ice on a cross-ice pass, then converted the return feed for a backdoor tap in.

Emelin had to be helped off the ice, leaving the Canadiens furious the play wasn't blown dead and Burrows wasn't penalized after catching an off-balance Emelin in the head with the top of his left arm. Emelin missed the rest of the second period, but returned for the third.

Miller kept it 1-0 with a great backdoor save off Rene Bourque late in the second period and got a break two minutes into the third period when defenseman Luca Sbisa got his left glove on a fluttering puck during a scramble, knocking it just over the empty net.

Vancouver broke out the other way and Richardson used a retreating Tinordi as a screen off the rush before firing a wrist shot over the Price's glove from the top of the right circle. It was the third goal in two games for Richardson after the third-line left wing failed to score in the first eight games of the season.

After Vancouver was called for icing, Galchenyuk deflected Subban's point shot past Miller, who was bumped by Gallagher as the puck went by him at 12:11, adding animosity to a game already full of post-whistle scrums.

Montreal failed to convert three power plays and is 0-for-24 on the road with the man advantage. But it was the Canucks' inability to generate anything on their only power play of regulation with six minutes left that gave Montreal the chance to tie the game.
