Ottawa came back from a 2-0 deficit with two goals in the final 4:34 of the third period. Jenner's goal forced overtime with 41.8 seconds remaining. The Charge had pulled their goaltender for the extra attacker.
Both teams had five-on-three power plays in the first overtime period, but were unable to capitalize.

Montreal had 1:34 of five-on-three time, while Ottawa had 24 seconds. Neither power play generated a great look to end the game.
The Victoire opened the scoring 2:25 in when O'Neill scored her first of the postseason.
The pass banked off the side boards and ended up perfectly placed for O'Neill to beat Ottawa's defense to the puck. She then put the backhand past Phillips on Montreal's first shot of the game.
Montreal doubled its lead 8:35 into the second period when Laura Stacey entered the zone off of a nice pass from Wilgren and fired a snap shot over the pad of Philips.

Ottawa looked to cut the lead less than a minute later. A scramble in front saw the puck cross the goal line, but it was overturned for goaltender interference. The Charge challenged the call, but it was confirmed giving Montreal a power play.
The Charge had the best chances during the penalty. Katerina Mrazova hit the post on a rush, and Emily Clark had a shot from the slot saved by Desbiens. It also generated some momentum for Ottawa. Ten of their 11 shots in the second period came after Stacey's goal.
They finally beat Desbiens with 4:34 remaining in the third period. Brianne Jenner's faceoff win got the puck to Tejralova. Her point shot got through traffic to make the score 2-1.
Jenner's tying goal came when Tereza Vanisova had the puck at the goal line to the left of Desbiens, and fired a cross-ice pass. The puck hit off of Ottawa forward Clark before Jenner fired the one-timer into the open side of the net.
The series shifts to Ottawa for the next two games. Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday night at TD Place.
Meanwhile in Minnesota, the Frost took a 2-1 series lead on Toronto with a 7-5 victory. They will have a chance to return to the Walter Cup finals on Wednesday night.

F1: Canadian GP
13m ago 19m ago 27m ago 34m ago 13h ago Russell grabs dazzling pole then jokes at Verstappen's expense Mercedes' George Russell grabbed a dazzling pole position and then enjoyed cracking a joke at rival Max Verstappen's expense on Saturday after clocking a sensational lap in qualifying for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix. The 27-year-old Briton was delighted with what he described as 'one of the most exhilarating laps of my life' and said, when asked about the prospect of starting alongside Red Bull's four-time champion, that he had 'a few more penalty points to play with'. His light-hearted jibe referred to his verbal rivalry with Verstappen since last season and their recent clash at the Spanish Grand Prix -- where the Dutchman rammed into Russell's car in the closing stages. Verstappen was handed a timed penalty that dropped him to 10th and also given three points on his drivers' super-licence, taking him to a total of 11 and within one point of a ban if he commits any further misdemeanours. Fans in the capacity crowd at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve roared their approval as Russell warmed to his theme after clocking the only sub 1.11 lap of the weekend to date. "We're mates, so it's all good,' insisted Russell, despite his tense and often strained relationship with Verstappen who, in Barcelona, said 'give him some tissues' after their clash. 'But I've got a few more points on my license to play with so, yeah, let's see,' Russell said. It may have been good-natured fun, but it was also a reminder to Verstappen that he cannot risk repeating his 'red mist' aggression and a possible race ban on Sunday. Russell captured his first pole this year at the end of a thrilling session. Russell clocked a best lap in one minute and 10.899 seconds to outpace Verstappen by 0.160 seconds. 'On my steering wheel, you've got the delta, and I just saw every corner that I was just going one-tenth quicker, and I got into the last corner, and I was six-tenths off, so I knew the lap was mighty,' Russell said. 'Crossing the line and seeing we were P1 was a real surprise, but I was so chuffed with it. It was probably one of the most exhilarating laps of my life, an awesome experience in front of this amazing crowd.' Verstappen, who is third in this year's drivers' title race behind the McLaren pair Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, shook hands with Russell to congratulate him, but will harbour hopes of claiming an unprecedented fourth consecutive Canadian win. Last year, Russell led from pole for 20 laps before pitting to hand the lead to Norris for five laps until he also pitted. Verstappen then took control to win ahead of Norris with Russell coming home third. "I'm very happy with what we have achieved to be on the front row,' said Verstappen, having claimed Red Bull's 200th front row start. 'Tomorrow, we can have a solid race. We did the right thing with the tyres.' Asked about starting alongside Russell, the champion refused to comment, showing real irritation about the speculation on penalty points and bans. "I'm not talking about it anymore,' he said, having already confirmed he would not change his aggressive style. "It's a waste of time to discuss this. It's so childish and it is really annoying." Russell's sixth career pole confirmed Mercedes' potential for success at the high-speed Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The late-session drama lifted the oft-warring pair clear of championship leader Piastri and Kimi Antonelli in the second Mercedes. Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton was fifth for Ferrari ahead of two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin, Norris in the second McLaren and Charles Leclerc in the second Ferrari. Impressive rookie Isack Hadjar was ninth for Racing Bulls and Alex Albon 10th for Williams. Piastri, who leads Norris by 10 points in the title race after nine of this year's 24 races, was happy to recover form after a difficult practice. 'To be honest, after how practice went, I am pretty happy,' he said. 'We chose to go with softs ... We wanted to keep it safe.' - AFP 14 June 20:27 Norris tops final practice at Canadian Grand Prix Lando Norris bounced back from a forlorn Friday to top the times for McLaren ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in Saturday's third and final practice at the Canadian Grand Prix. Norris clocked a best lap in one minute and 11.799 seconds to outpace Leclerc by 0.078 seconds with Mercedes' George Russell a tenth adrift in third place ahead of Lewis Hamilton, the seven-times champion showing revived pace in his Ferrari. It was an intriguing and closely competed hour of action that suggested all of the leading four teams are in contention to take pole position in qualifying later on Saturday. Four-time champion Max Verstappen was fifth for Red Bull ahead of two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin, Kimi Antonelli in the second Mercedes and championship leader Oscar Piastri in the second McLaren. Piastri was seven-tenths adrift of team-mate Norris, who trails him by 10 points at the top of the drivers' championship after nine of this year's 24 races and endured what he described as his "worst Friday of the season" the previous day. Carlos Sainz was ninth ahead of his Williams team-mate Alex Albon, pushing impressive rookie Isack Hadjar of RB down to 11th in front of another big crowd at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Overnight news of the FIA's decision to suspend British steward Derek Warwick was a hot topic in the paddock, along with a two-year contract extension for the Las Vegas race, ahead of the session, which began hesitantly in mild and dry conditions. The first drama arrived after 22 minutes when Piastri slapped the 'Wall of Champions'' on exit from the final chicane, suffering a punctured rear tyre. He limped to the pits, dropping debris that triggered a six-minute red-flag stoppage. After his complaints on Friday, Verstappen was still having issues with his brakes, grumbling about "lacking bite with this material" while Red Bull team-mate Yuki Tsunoda was in the pits and without a competitive lap. Norris improved to go top with 12 minutes remaining. - AFP 14 June 12:14 Russell fastest for Mercedes ahead of Norris as Verstappen struggles in second practice George Russell powered his Mercedes to the top of the times ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris in Friday's second practice for this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix. As four-time champion Max Verstappen struggled to reprise his pace-setting form for Red Bull in the opening practice session, Russell clocked a best lap in one minute and 12.123 seconds to beat Norris by 0.028 seconds. Russell's Mercedes team-mate teenage rookie Kimi Antonelli was third ahead of Williams' Alex Albon, two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin and championship leader Oscar Piastri in the second McLaren. It was clear that McLaren were taking a measured approach to the weekend as they tested updated front wing and suspension. Carlos Sainz was seventh for Williams ahead of seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton in the sole Ferrari, after team-mate Charles Leclerc had crashed and damaged his car in first practice. Verstappen was ninth ahead of the two Red Bulls of Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar. For Russell, who started on pole last year, it was an encouraging session on a bright and clear day at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, where Ferrari are revered. It was the first time Russell had been fastest in a practice this year. "It's nice," Russell said after the session. "It might be my first time topping a leaderboard this year, 10 races in. So obviously, it's been a very positive day." The action began with a range of tyres chosen for use after the earlier session in which Leclerc had crashed and badly damaged the survival cell in his Ferrari. That required prolonged work to replace it and he was ruled out of FP2. Pressure on Ferrari All this heaped more pressure on Ferrari and Hamilton as media speculation swirled and team boss Fred Vasseur hit back at "stupid" stories that threatened to undermine their season. Russell set an early quickest lap before Stroll, the local hero, hit the wall at Turn Seven and damaged his Aston Martin's front wheels. His race engineer Gary Gannon asked him to stop and park, his session over. In improving conditions, Norris on mediums found his groove to go top before Albon and then Russell took control, the Mercedes man eight-tenths faster than his pole lap last year. Verstappen expressed his frustration at his Red Bull's handling. "The car's jumping crazy at the rear," he said, a complaint similar to one from Hamilton who reported "the rear keeps kicking out" asking his engineer for help. Back on one of his favourite circuits, where he shares a record of seven wins with Michael Schumacher, Hamilton was showing pace to rise to second behind the ever-improving Russell, on mediums. Both McLarens soon climbed into the top 10 after taking a methodical approach to the use of their new upgrades, Norris rising to second, but Mercedes with Russell on top and Antonelli third, appeared to be strongest with 15 minutes remaining. As the teams began race-trim runs, there were 17 drivers separated by one second, ahead of Franco Colapinto's Alpine – clear evidence that a closely-fought contest is in prospect for Saturday's critical qualifying. - AFP 13 June 21:21 Verstappen on top in opening practice after Leclerc crashes Defending four-time champion Max Verstappen topped the times for Red Bull ahead of both Williams cars in Friday's crash-hit opening practice at the Canadian Grand Prix. The 27-year-old Dutchman, who has won the last three Canadian races, clocked a fastest lap time in one minute and 13.193 seconds to outpace Alex Albon by 0.039 seconds -- after Charles Leclerc crashed in his Ferrari. The session was red-flagged and delayed following Leclerc's accident, in which he was unhurt, but it was a grim early blow for the under-scrutiny Ferrari team following a disappointing start to the season. It was the first time this year that Verstappen has topped a practice session. As the championship-leading McLarens worked on progression with an update package, Carlos Sainz was third in the second Williams, ahead of Mercedes' George Russell and seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton in the second Ferrari. Isack Hadjar was sixth for Racing Bulls ahead of Lando Norris in his McLaren, Liam Lawson in the second Racing Bull and Pierre Gasly of Alpine. Leclerc was 10th fastest before his crash. The session was run in mild conditions on a 'green' and dirty track with Haas marking their 200th race weekend by returning to their original livery and Yuki Tsunoda hoping for a boost in form for his 100th race. McLaren were one of the few teams to bring upgrades –- front wing and suspension -- to the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve where a packed Friday crowd generated plenty of atmosphere. After an early yellow flag when Franco Colapinto spun on his first flying lap, Hamilton briefly topped the times before Verstappen took control, grumbling as he did so that "my steering wheel feels heavy". Ten minutes later, Ferrari suffered a serious early blow when Leclerc, who had gone top, went off at Turn Four, his car sliding into the barriers. "Sorry," said the Monegasque driver. "I'm in the wall. I should have gone straight on." He was unhurt, but his Ferrari suffered serious front end damage. Amid all the speculation about the team's loss of form and the future of team boss Fred Vasseur, this was not the start they needed. After an eight-minute red flag break, Russell re-started the action which continued to provide unexpected thrills as drivers grappled with the conditions –- caused mainly by the circuit's lack of use for the rest of the year. In this period, Russell, Norris and then Hamilton all had twitchy moments or spins before Verstappen, chasing an unprecedented fourth consecutive Canadian win, clocked 1:13.863 to regain the initiative ahead of Leclerc and Russell. Gradually, the track conditions improved permitting Russell to go top in 1:13.535 while Nico Hulkenberg 'kissed' the 'wall of champions' so faintly it was indiscernible before Sainz and then Verstappen trimmed the top lap time again. The Dutchman then went so close to the wall that the circuit recorded the gap as -0 cms. Hulkenberg was within 0.4 cms according to the circuit TV graphic -– enough to avoid trouble in a relatively straightforward session on an improving track.

Prince Owusu scores 2 goals, Montreal snaps 5-game winless streak, beats Dynamo 3-1
Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — Prince Owusu scored two goals a three-minute span, Jalen Neal added his first goal of the season and CF Montreal beat the Houston Dynamo 3-1 on Saturday night. Montreal (2-11-5) snapped a five-game winless streak during which the club was outscored 16-6. Owusu nearly lost the ball while fighting off a defender near the penalty spot before he rolled a left-footer into the net in the 30th minute. Then, on the counter-attack in the 32nd, Owusu slipped in front of defender Femi Awodesu and went up high for a header — off an arcing entry played in by Aleksandr Guboglo, the 18-year-old's first assist in MLS — from the center of the area that made it 2-0. Neal made it 3-0 in the 54th minute. Tom Pearce played a free kick from near the right sideline to the back post, where Neal fought off a defender and then scored on a header from the edge of the 6-yard box. Ondrej Lingr scored on a header off a ball-in played by Nicolas Lodeiro in the 64th for Houston (5-8-5). The Dynamo have lost back-to-back games by a score of 3-1 following a four-game unbeaten streak that included three wins. Houston had 56% possession and outshot Montreal 19-8. Jonathan Bond finished with two saves for the Dynamo. Jonathan Sirois stopped one shot for Montreal. The 28-year-old Owusu, in his third MLS season, had his second career multi-goal game and his first of the season. ___ AP soccer:
