Game review

Winnipeg Jets 5, Montreal Canadiens 4 on November 3, decided in overtime after the game swung in the third period. Montreal had built a 3-0 lead before Winnipeg scored four times in the third and then finished it in overtime.

Kyle Connor led Winnipeg with two goals and two points, while Mark Scheifele added two assists. Cole Caufield had two goals and two points for Montreal, and Juraj Slafkovsky contributed two assists. Winnipeg’s 47 shots to Montreal’s 22 help explain the comeback, though Montreal blocked 23 shots and went 2-for-4 on the power play, compared with Winnipeg’s 1-for-5.

For bettors, Montreal closed as a -1.5 favorite, and Winnipeg covered by 2.5. The closing total of 5.5 went over by 3.5.
