According to the NHL, Vancouver’s victory was the first time in history that a team has come back from a three-goal deficit in the final minute to win a game. The previous record for the latest three-goal comeback was held by the Montréal Canadiens, whose three-goal comeback against the Ottawa Senators started at the 56:38 of the third period. The three goals in 53 seconds were also the second-fastest in franchise history, with the record still standing at 48 seconds against the LA Kings back in 1993.
