Question for the stats people

[Hockey Team]

In playoff history, when a team comes back from a 3-1 series deficit to tie it 3-3, how often do they go on to win the series?

Just curious.

I would think the team that won 2 in a row at that point would have some momentum going for them.

Four?

Would guess it's around 50%, but don't know for sure

Yeah, I would guess somewhere around 50% too, but it's a small sample size so I think the results might be surprising.

I know 3 and 0 comebacks are zero. No team has won the cup once going down and coming back.

Edit: totally misread the op as how often do teams go on to win the cup.... I believe when the Rangers blew the series against Washington they posted the stat. I kind of remember it being 11 percent at the time.

Winning a series from being down 1 - 3 has happened about 8 percent of the time, so while not impossible (as the Rangers just proved against the Pens), it is highly unlikely.

No idea what it is when they come back to 3 - 3 though.

When I've seen it, it often has been the team coming from behind that has won it.
