Thanks to an incredible combination of circumstances, the Montreal Canadiens managed to beat Nashville on the road.
Nashville hockey players now know what bad luck truly is. In the NHL regular season against Montreal, they fully felt the uncertainty of fate.
The Predators, who are in great form with an eight-game winning streak, are clear favorites in their home match against the Canadians. And the start of the match only confirmed these expectations.
The home team, having scored twice against the opposition, took a confident lead at the end of the second period. However, the incredible happened here. First, Montreal won a goal back, and six seconds later they tied the score.
Canadiens player David Savard accidentally threw the puck into the net from center ice, taking advantage of a stray ricochet off the protective glass.
Nashville was never able to recover from such a shock and eventually lost to its opponent in overtime.
