Card image cap

The Winnipeg Jets did the improbable Tuesday night, erasing a 4-0 deficit with just 2:31 to play before Dylan Samberg scored in overtime to give the Jets a 5-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

It was a record-breaking comeback. Per the NHL, it's the latest 4-0 comeback in league history.

Tyrel Bauer got the comeback started with a goal at 17:21 of the third period. Morgan Barron added a second at 18:03. U.S. Olympic gold medalist Kyle Connor scored with one minute to go and then added the equalizer with a power-play goal at the 19:27 mark.

The Jets' historic comeback officially began 57 minutes, 21 seconds into the game. The prior record was held by the Los Angeles Kings, who began to erase their four-goal deficit after 52 minutes, 46 seconds of play in a 2007 game against the Dallas Stars.

The @NHLJets were shut out for 57:21 but Tyrel Bauer’s first career goal triggered the club’s fastest quartet of tallies to force overtime, where Dylan Samberg had the winner to complete the latest four-goal comeback victory in @NHL history.#NHLStats: https://t.co/O4b304ypDUpic.twitter.com/rqD73f5YTX
