Isn’t this what the Stanley Cup Playoffs are all about?
The Vancouver Canucks, down 4-1 at one point, overcame a three-goal deficit in the third period to take Game 1 over the Edmonton Oilers in wild fashion. Goals by Nikita Zadorov and Conor Garland sealed the Canucks’ first three-goal comeback in the post-season since the 1994 Conference Finals.
