On the night of November 4, 2026, the NHL regular season provided fans with one of the most dramatic game days of the season. Eleven matches featured several events that will go down in league history: the Winnipeg Jets pulled off a comeback that analysts will be discussing for a long time, Jason Robertson scored a natural hat-trick in a matter of minutes, and Cutter Gauthier joined Anaheim's exclusive club of achievements. Let's break down the key events of the game day in order.

### Comeback of the Century: Winnipeg Turns the Game Around Against Montreal

The main event of the night was the Montreal Canadiens vs. Winnipeg Jets matchup, which ended 5:4 in favor of the visitors in overtime. By the start of the third period, the hosts led by four goals (3:0 after two periods), and the outcome seemed all but decided. However, two minutes and 39 seconds before the end of regulation, Winnipeg accomplished the impossible: Tyrel Bauer, Morgan Barron, and Kyle Connor twice scored four unanswered goals to tie the game. Connor sent the final goal into the net with 33 seconds remaining in the third period. In overtime, Dylan Samberg scored the winner, giving the Jets two points. The final score was 4:5 OT (2:0, 1:0, 1:4, 0:1).  The photo captures the celebration moment as Mark Scheifele (#55) hugs his teammates after the winning goal.

Roope Hintz also picked up three points (1+2), while Mikko Rantanen reached the milestone of 800 career NHL points. For Washington, Jordan Kyrou recorded three points (1+2).

In Vancouver, the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Canucks 5:4, featuring a feat never before seen in franchise history: Cutter Gauthier recorded a hat-trick for the second consecutive game.
