The Winnipeg Jets delivered one of the most dramatic comebacks in modern NHL history on Tuesday night, rallying from a four-goal hole to beat the Montreal Canadiens, according to Sporting News.
Montreal appeared in control for much of the game before suffering a historic collapse, surrendering the lead as Winnipeg clawed back goal by goal. The win ended a remarkable statistical drought, with Sporting News reporting that teams facing that exact kind of four-goal deficit had gone 9,652 games without pulling off the win before the Jets finally broke through.
The result adds another chapter to a growing list of wild late-season comebacks across the league, and it leaves the Canadiens facing tough questions about how they let such a commanding lead slip away.
