The Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks are the No. 12 seeds in the NHL's qualifying round, the final teams to be included in their respective conferences. The Arizona Coyotes were also one of the last teams to make it in as the No. 11 seed in the Western Conference. And now, all three teams are one win away from upsetting their opponents and advancing.

All three of those teams were victorious on Wednesday as the qualifying round continued to bring exciting action. The night was capped by Chicago's 4-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers, which gives it a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.
