A 3-2 deficit in the third period is a tough, but not at all impossible task for the NHL team.
But sometimes it is quick to extinguish hope.
When Tampa Bay set off against Chicago, it took 32 seconds.
01.51: Victor Hedman starts the goal party.
The shot, from between the right technical circle and the blue line, did not look like much to the world in the name of honesty, but found its way between the leg guards on Marc-André Fleury in the Chicago box.
02.04: Corey Perry exploits carelessness in the passing game in Chicago's defensive, and snatches the puck over Fleury's picking glove.
02.23: Mikhail Sergatjov throws the puck towards the goal, who a little luckily misses several goalkeepers and looks past Fleury.
This also broke a new club record in Tampa Bay for the three fastest goals.
Getting out of a 6-2 deficit against a lively Tampa Bay - the last two years' Stanley Cup winner - can probably be seen as one on the verge of an impossible task.
A consolation goal by Alex DeBrincat adjusted the final score to 6-3.
Victor Hedman was also responsible for the equalizer to 2-2, and the Swedish defender was also named the best player of the match.
He is now up to 13 goals for the season, the fourth highest figure among NHL backs.
- It is strong that we manage to come back in that way and very nice that we win, but we really do not want to end up in that situation all the time, he says to Aftonbladet.
