Patrick Kane keeps finding new ways to score big goals -- and the Chicago Blackhawks keep on rolling.

Kane, the reigning NHL scoring leader and MVP, scored a spectacular tiebreaking goal late in the second period and the Blackhawks beat Montreal 3-2 on Sunday night, handing the league-leading Canadiens just their second regulation loss of the season.

Kane snapped a 2-all tie with 3:37 left in the second to cap a terrific individual effort. He skated down the slot, fooled Jeff Petry with a move and chipped a shot past Al Montoya -- while falling to the ice with Max Pacioretty checking him closely from behind.

So where does that one rate in Kane's growing highlight reel library?

"It was a different one, that's for sure," Kane said. "I don't know if I've scored going to the ground like that. Pretty cool, for sure."

"That had the wow factor all over it," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville added. "All of a sudden he makes a play with a guy draped all over him, makes a great shot falling to the ice."

Even Montoya was impressed.

"There's not many guys that can make that play," Montoya said. "He's one of two, and I think (former Red Wings star Pavel) Datsyuk is already gone. Heck of a goal."
