Jets Storm Back From Four Down to Stun Canadiens 5-4 in Overtime

The Winnipeg Jets have produced one of the comebacks of the NHL season, storming back from four goals down to beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 in overtime on Tuesday night in Montreal. The Canadiens led 4-0 when Cole Caufield scored his second of the game and tenth of the season just 46 seconds into the third period, and the Jets looked headed for a tenth straight defeat after a 7-0 loss to Carolina on Sunday. Instead, Winnipeg scored four goals in just 2 minutes, 8 seconds, with Tyrel Bauer and Morgan Barron starting the rally before Kyle Connor's power-play strike with 32 seconds left in regulation tied the game. Dylan Samberg then finished the job in overtime, ending the nine-game skid in the latest four-goal comeback in NHL history. Stuart Skinner made 18 saves in the win, while Mark Scheifele and Dylan DeMelo each had two assists. Montreal captain Nick Suzuki missed a sixth straight game with a hand injury, ending a run of 546 consecutive regular-season games to start his career, and the Canadiens were left to rue a collapse that turned a rout into a defeat.
