The Winnipeg Jets complete a rare comeback to beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 in overtime after trailing 4-0. Multiple outlets say Cole Caufield’s early third-period goals gave Montreal a 4-0 lead, and Winnipeg’s scoring surge late in the third changed the game. The Jets then finish the comeback with a goal from Dylan Samberg in overtime.
Several reports describe the comeback as historic, with coverage highlighting record-setting or “latest in NHL history” framing. ESPN and Global News note the Jets snap a losing streak and specifically mention a nine-game losing streak ending. Other outlets focus on how quickly Winnipeg scores, including a late-third window of only a couple of minutes, and emphasize the team’s first goal of the game arriving late in the third.
Overall, the sources largely agree on the scoreline, the size of the deficit, the overtime winner, and the comeback’s place in NHL history. The differences are mainly in the emphasis placed on timing details, the number of games in the losing streak, and the exact wording of what record or historical framing is being highlighted.
