Max Pacioretty scores in overtime as Canadiens come back to beat Jets 5-4
WINNIPEG — Max Pacioretty was glad the Montreal Canadiens didn’t get down on themselves this time.
The captain scored a power-play goal at 3:07 of overtime to give the Canadiens a 5-4 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.
The Jets had a 4-2 lead at 6:39 of the third period, but Tomas Plekanec and Jeff Petry scored on Connor Hellebuyck to make it 4-4 at 15:16.
“From past experience just this year, too many times we maybe felt sorry for ourselves, felt like there was nothing we could do,” Pacioretty said of the team’s reaction to being down in games.
