Why it matters
This game highlights the unpredictable nature of professional sports and the impact of emerging talent on team performance.
The Montreal Canadiens had won five straight while the Winnipeg Jets were winless in nine. It seemed like a recipe for a good night at the Bell Centre, and it was for the first 57 minutes.
After that, the strangest thing happened. It all fell apart as the Jets counted four goals in the final three minutes to force overtime, then won it in extra time for a 5-4 final.
The Canadiens had only two good shifts in the entirety of the first period. They scored on both of them. The next generation of talent was on full display on the first tally as the fourth line continued their excellence.
