The Edmonton Oilers became the 10th team in NHL history to force a Game 7 after trailing 3-0 on Friday night, and just the third in the Cup Final.

The Edmonton Oilers became the 211th team to trail 3-0 in a series in NHL history last week – they are now just one win away from becoming the fifth to complete the comeback. The Oilers became the 10th team in NHL history to force a Game 7 after trailing a series three games to none on Friday after beating the Florida Panthers, 5-1.

Edmonton started the second with a bang, with Adam Henrique scoring just 46 seconds into the period on a 2-on-1 following an ice-length pass. Florida’s Aleksander Barkov thought he answered back just 10 seconds later, but Edmonton successfully challenged that the Panthers were offsides, leaving it a 2-0 Oilers lead. With 1:40 left in the period, Zach Hyman lit the lamp to make it 3-0. The Oilers scored twice in the middle frame, despite Florida outshooting them, 11-4.

It’s the first 3-0 comeback in the league since the Los Angeles Kings did so in the first round of the 2014 playoffs – they won that Game 7, and eventually won the Cup, winning two more Game 7s in the process. The last team in the Big 4 leagues to force a Game 7 after trailing 3-0 was last year’s Boston Celtics – they lost to the eighth-seeded Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, but got their revenge earlier this week by winning their first NBA title since 2008.

This series' Game 7 will be back in Sunrise, Fla., where just about everyone will be in full-blown panic, on Monday night. With a win, it’ll be the Oilers’ first Cup since 1990, and Canada’s first since 1993. That would also mark the second year in a row the Panthers would lose in the Final, having fallen to the Vegas Golden Knights last year.
