Goals Galore as the Winnipeg Jets Beat the Montreal Canadiens

2. The Canadiens Answer and Stun the Jets

With the Jets’ early 4-0 lead, many people thought the Jets were going to glide to victory and perhaps have their largest victory margin of the season, but the Canadiens would not go down without a fight.

Josh Anderson was able to put the Canadiens on the board just over two minutes after Scheifele’s goal to make the scoreline 4-1.

Then in the final three minutes of the first period, Anderson scored again to make it a two-goal game. Finally a minute and a half later and in the closing stages of the opening frame, Arturri Lehkonen was able to find the back of the net and put Montreal within one of Winnipeg at the end of the first period.

Montreal then completed their comeback when Anderson scored four minutes into the second frame to tie the game at four and complete his hattrick.

The Canadiens deserve full credit for this comeback but this undoubtedly stunned the Jets who had a four-goal lead within the opening ten minutes of this contest.
