In historic fashion, the Winnipeg Jets losing streak came to an end on Tuesday night.

Down 4-0 to the Montreal Canadiens with less than three minutes to play, the Jets scored four goals in two minutes and six seconds to tie the game and then Dylan Samberg scored his second of the season with 1:30 left in overtime to give Winnipeg a 5-4 win.

Their nine-game losing streak is over thanks to the latest four-goal comeback win in NHL history.

With the game all but done, Winnipeg started their improbable comeback  down four goals with 2:39 left when Tyrel Bauer sniped his first career goal past Montreal goalie Jacob Fowler, who had been brilliant up until that point.

And then 42 seconds later, it was Morgan Barron’s turn to score and the Jets had a pulse.
