Nice going Rangers...

The Montreal Canadiens fell behind by five goals and showed no signs of being able to muster much offense against the New York Rangers.

Then, suddenly, came the biggest comeback in Canadiens history.

"I don't think a lot of people expected it," said Michael Ryder, who scored the first two of four straight even-strength goals by Montreal in the Canadiens' 6-5 shootout victory Tuesday night.

The Canadiens stormed back from a 5-0 deficit early in the second with five unanswered goals. It was the first time the storied franchise had recovered from a deficit so large.

In the shootout, Saku Koivu beat Henrik Lundqvist with a forehand deke on the Canadiens' second attempt. Cristobal Huet stopped Brendan Shanahan, Chris Drury and Jaromir Jagr to the delight of the sold-out Bell Centre crowd of 21,273.
