Only four teams in NHL history have overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven playoff series.
That's why Friday night's matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning will be crucial for the New York Islanders, who are looking to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole in the Eastern Conference Final. The Lightning opened the series with a dominant 8-2 win and pulled out a 2-1 victory in Game 2.
If Tampa Bay wins again in Game 3, it is almost certainly on its way to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2015. But New York has been an underdog for much of the postseason, and it proved in Game 2 that it has enough to be competitive in this series.
