Jets beat Canadiens in OT after trailing 4-0 with 3 minutes left, setting NHL record
The Jets won a game in a way never before seen in the NHL on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the Winnipeg Jets ended a nine-game winless streak with an incredible comeback victory over the Montreal Canadiens. With under three minutes left in the game, the Jets were trailing 4-0. The final score was 5-4 in overtime, courtesy of a game-winning goal by Dylan Samberg. This marked the latest four-goal comeback in NHL history, breaking the previous record set by the 2007-08 Los Angeles Kings, who had only three minutes left when they rallied back.
Jets' goals came from Tyrel Bauer (2:38 left in the third period), Morgan Barron (1:57 left), and Kyle Connor (1:00 left). The momentum shifted when Alexandre Carrier's tripping penalty created a power play for Winnipeg, which Kyle Connor converted with just 33 seconds remaining, sending the game into overtime. The Jets, who entered the game with a 4-8-3 record, showcased their resilience despite a recent 7-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes and trading away their Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender just two weeks prior.
Montreal's Cole Caufield expressed his disappointment, stating that there was no excuse for their choke job after trailing by four goals.
