A mind-boggling comeback has set up NHL’s biggest game in 82 years

No team has come back from 0-3 down in the Stanley Cup Final since 1942. The Oilers could do just that while becoming the NHL’s first Canadian champion in more than 30 years.

No NHL team has come back from 3-0 down to win a Stanley Cup Final since the Toronto Maple Leafs did it against the Detroit Red Wings in April 1942.

Now, 82 years later, the Edmonton Oilers may change that history. On Monday night on the edge of the Everglades, the Oilers will face off against the Florida Panthers in Game 7 and try to win their fourth straight to take the Cup and become the first Canadian NHL champions since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
