The Edmonton Oilers have joined a select group of NHL teams by fighting back from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series to force a Game 7. This marks the 10th time in NHL history that a team has accomplished this feat out of 211 opportunities, with the last instance occurring a decade ago. However, history shows that the momentum gained from three consecutive wins doesn't always guarantee success in the decisive seventh game.
Of the nine previous teams that managed to force a Game 7 after trailing 3-0 in the series, only four were able to complete the comeback and win the series. The Los Angeles Kings were the most recent team to achieve this in the 2014 first round against the San Jose Sharks.
