The initial situation for the Edmonton Oilers appeared quite challenging.
They found themselves facing a difficult 3-0 series deficit in the first round. However, a failed coach`s challenge by Jim Hiller of the Los Angeles Kings provided them with a critical opportunity. This hard-fought comeback victory revitalized the Oilers` season, and they`ve been on an impressive run ever since.
By successfully overcoming a deficit to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 1 on Tuesday, Edmonton made NHL history, becoming the first team to secure five consecutive comeback wins within a single postseason.
Oilers forward Zach Hyman, who scored the winning goal with just over three minutes remaining in regular time, commented to reporters: “Naturally, you don’t want to be trailing in games repeatedly, but we’ve developed the experience and confidence needed to fight our way back from difficult situations. It`s crucial to have that faith within your team when you`re behind, otherwise, you wouldn`t achieve five straight wins like that.”
