The Washington Capitals are watching history repeat itself in the postseason, victimized by an opponent that is enjoying its first taste of playoff success. After rallying for a pair of overtime victories in Washington, the Columbus Blue Jackets can put a stranglehold on their Eastern Conference first-round series when they host the Capitals in Game 3 of the best-of-seven set on Tuesday night.

The Minnesota Wild aim to draw even in their first-round playoff series against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday at home, bolstered by a resounding 6-2 triumph in Sunday’s Game 3 to pull within two games to one. Outplayed in two losses at Winnipeg and facing a must-win situation in Game 3, Zach Parise scored for the third consecutive game and, after goaltender Devan Dubnyk held off the Jets through most of the second period, the Wild broke it open with three goals in 3:43.

Only four teams in NHL history have rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series and one of them is the Los Angeles Kings, who came back from the dead against San Jose in 2014 en route to winning the Stanley Cup. The Kings find themselves in that situation again as they try to fight off elimination against the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night.
