NHL's Greatest Comebacks & Milestones on April 26

0:00On April 26th, April 26th packs a punch in NHL history, especially with those nail-biting Game 7 showdowns in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Back in 1975, the New York Islanders pulled off one of the greatest comebacks ever, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins won nothing after. Dropping the first three games, Glenn Wresch's rookie shut-out sealed it, making them just the second team to rally like that. Fast forward to 2011, and we had two thrillers on the same night. Brian Boucher backstopped the Philadelphia Flyers to a 5-2 win over Buffalo. His first Game 7 start-in over a decade. Then Van Coover edged Chicago 2-1 in overtime, ending the Black Hawk's title defense despite Chicago clawing back from a three-nothing series hole. In 2012, the Rangers knocked off Ottawa 2-1 for their first Game 7 victory since 94, while Adam Henrique's overtime winner. Gabe New Jersey a three-two-edge over Florida. He was just the second rookie, ever to score his first two-play-off goals in a Game 7.
