Montreal Canadiens make wrong kind of history with four-goal choke job almost too shocking to believe
The Montreal Canadiens lost 5-4 to the Winnipeg Jets after surrendering a four-goal lead with less than three minutes left in the third period. The comeback, followed by a Jets win in overtime, set a new record for the biggest collapse in NHL history.
The game took place at Montreal’s Bell Centre during the regular season in November. The article says the late turnaround is so extraordinary that hockey fans are unlikely to forget it, despite the game being a routine regular-season fixture.
In short
- Montreal led 4-0 with under three minutes remaining.
- Winnipeg forced overtime and won 5-4.
- The collapse set a new NHL record.
