Which team down 3-1 will come back to win the series?

[JianYang]

None, but in order of likelihood
Vegas because the Oilers team defense and goaltending are kinda volatile
Winnipeg because they're playing well, pretty even series outside goaltending
Washington is getting dominated and are lucky to have not been swept

I think Winnipeg has looked alot better than a 3-1 deficit would indicate as well.

I remember catching the 3rd period of game 1. It looked like a matter of time that the jets tie it but it didn't come to fruition.

Last game, i thought oettinger once again kept the stars in it until the stars got their opportunities to move ahead.

I suppose if helleyuck magically turns on a switch and steps up his level to match oettinger, then Winnipeg has a way back, but there's nothing to suggest that he will.

 

[Caps8112]

the correct answer is none.
I still believe caps win game 5. Winning in Carolina will be the task. Caps have never come back from being down 3-1. While I believe Carolina has performed better in every way in the series, its absolutely a game of bounces. Caps are due for some bounces to go their way instead of carolinas.

 

[BonMorrison]

I think they all go at least 6 and put the Golden Knights as highest chance to get to Game 7 (and lose)

 

[Caps8112]

If none of the 3 score 1 to 2 goals in the first 10 mins of their respective game 5s, they are all done. Usually in close out games you see a massive push by team possibly being eliminated and if that goes south, they usually lose the game. Defeat sets in that their best effort didnt produce anything.

 

[george14]

Based on what exactly?

They've created more high-danger chances in both of the last 2 games and the difference has been goaltending. Frederik Andersen has perfect 100 SV% on high-danger shots in this series.

High-danger is subjective for starters.

WSH has been outscored 12-6 and outshot 127-77. Those stats are even worse 5v5.

Ovechkin's rookie or sophomore season he had a comeback against the Rangers I believe. I only remember because he was asked after game 4 something along the lines of "what went wrong" and fiercely answered "This isn't over". I doubt he has that energy in him this time but you can never count them out.

I still think Winnipeg could pull something off but their playoff form just isn't what it should be for whatever reason.

 

[JKG33]

I dont think any of them will. Vegas seems like the best team, Washington maybe has the weakest opponent. But I dont see either pulling it off

 

[Summer Rose]

Since you asked which team "will" come back, to that question I would answer none of them.

Vegas probably has the best chance of the three to, but I still don't think they do it.

 

[shaner8989]

None. I’d actually wager there are all over in 5 games

 

[Fatass]

None have a hope. Those series are over.

you are correct. I swear when I googled it yesterday the answer was no but I completely forgot about caps rangers in 09 and also in 1988 against the flyers but I was a kid. Still, this aint 09 Ovi so we will see. I think they rebound at home in game 5 but game 6 will be tough

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Of the three, I'd say maybe Washington has the best chance if only because they've looked halfway competitive in their series. Granted, certainly not last game.

Normally, I'd pick Vegas, but they seem... kind of dead. Meanwhile, Winnipeg just doesn't have the depth or consistency to handle Dallas who I think we'll come out of the west.

All that said, I don't think any of them come back.

Winnipeg's depth isn't the issue, considering the Dallas depth really hasn't done much either. It's mostly consistency, Hellebuyck playing far worse than Oettinger, and Rantanen being clearly the best player.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

All three

I will mail you a cookie if you are correct.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Winnipeg might win one more game.
Vegas could win one more but after that last game, it wasn't even close and I think they are ready to go golfing, especially being eliminated at home.
Washington has 0 chance. Carolina is much too good defensively.

 

[Moose Head]

None, but in order of likelihood:

Vegas
Caps
Jets

 

[Summer Rose]

None, but in order of likelihood:

Vegas
Caps
Jets

I'd swap the Capitals and Jets, but that's just me. Either way it's very unlikely. I will, however, put some arbitrary numbers on the approximate chance I see of the three coming back to win their series, for fun.

Vegas - 20% chance
Winnipeg - 9% chance
Capitals - 8% chance

Something like that, and I wouldn't exactly count on any of them pulling it off.

 

[BB79]

The Canes have bored Washington and the rest of us to sleep, Vegas doesn't have the same mojo as they did in seasons past, and Dallas isn't choking a 3-1 lead.

None of them.

 

[Boyon90]

none

oilers will have an epic REDO against the panthers

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Because Vegas has some pedigree as an organization and because Edmonton can be volatile in net and therefore sometimes streaky, I'd say that's the best chance. But I don't think any of them will.

 

[FlameChampion]

None of them

 

[GrumpyKoala]

I would say the one that play against Stuart Skinner.

 

[End on a Hinote]

None, but Washington has the better chance. Wouldn't count Vegas out, and Winnipeg is toast.

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

None

Caps don't seem to have that playoff intensity/urgency.
Dallas is just too strong disirregarless of who they are playing
Oil can win 1 out of 3.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

None, but in order of likelihood
Vegas because the Oilers team defense and goaltending are kinda volatile
Winnipeg because they're playing well, pretty even series outside goaltending

Goaltending certainly but the Oilers have a very good and very deep defence. If the goalies stop what they should stop Edmonton is fine.

I'm confused by Vegas, honestly. They've had almost nothing going at 5v5 the whole series. For a team that I thought was deeper than Edmonton they've been getting killed by guys like Evander Kane, Adam Henrique, Corey Perry and Connor Brown. McDavid and Draisaitl haven't gone supernova yet but by and large they haven't had to.
