The New York Islanders were 81-0 all-time in the postseason when leading by three or more goals.
They're now 81-1 after the Carolina Hurricanes scored five unanswered goals in a miraculous 5-3 comeback win Monday night at PNC Arena that now sees Carolina taking a 2-0 series lead to Long Island.
It's a game that would have been a brutal pill to swallow if the Hurricanes had lost.
They didn't allow the Islanders a single shot on goal until nearly 15 minutes into the game, they had five times as many power play chances, Carolina hit the post/crossbar five times, they outshot New York 39-12 and here's the real kicker, they outchanced the Isles 110-28.
110 to 28.
For reference, Carolina missed the net more times (32) than the Islanders even attempted shots.
It was complete and utter domination by the Hurricanes, but halfway through the game, the Canes were losing 3-0.
The Islanders got on the board first as Kyle Palmieri found himself in alone on Frederik Andersen during 4v4 play and the veteran forward had time to bang away at a couple of rebounds before eventually scoring.
Then as the first period wound down, Jaccob Slavin was knocked off a puck below the goal line by Casey Cizikas and Mat Barzal fed Bo Horvat streaking through the slot for a one-timer missile.
Then on New York's one and only power play early in the second, Brett Pesce and Brady Skjei lost the battle along the wall and the puck popped out to Anders Lee in front who danced around Andersen for the tuck in.
On nine shots on goal, the Isles scored three times. A bit of a turnaround from the performance Andersen was coming off of (one goal on 34 shots in Game 1).
But in the remaining 36:06 of game time, the Canes would allow just three shots on goal all while piling up chance after chance after chance.
It wasn't until Carolina's third power play chance that the offense finally clicked.
Jake Guentzel found a loose puck off a rebound and found Teuvo Teravainen on the backdoor with an open cage to get the team on the board with just under seven minutes to go in the second period.
Right then and there, you could start to feel something building in PNC Arena.
It wasn't a confident feeling by any chance, but there was hope.
That hope perhaps started to wane a bit as time continued to wind down, but at just under the halfway point of the third period, the Canes would grab another.
Brady Skjei caught a clearing attempt at the line, passed it out to Jordan Staal who then found Seth Jarvis who absolutely ripped a bardown beauty past Semyon Varlamov.
Hope was building.
Tension was running high and coming out of a timeout with under three minutes to go, Andersen was on the bench and the Canes were throwing everything they had at the Islanders who were just in full blown survival mode.
And in those big moments, when so much is riding on every game, you need your stars to shine.
And in that moment tonight, Carolina's shone brightest.
Andrei Svechnikov lined up the perfect pass to Sebastian Aho on the backdoor and all of a sudden, the Hurricanes had tied the game.
PNC Arena was alive, the Caniacs were screaming and jumping for joy and... oh my god, the Canes were ahead.
Just nine seconds after the equalizer, Jordan Martinook stunned New York with yet another blow as he bodied Noah Dobson behind the net to win the puck and then tucked it in past Varlamov.
What had seemed impossible had happened, Carolina was somehow back from the dead and leading in an improbably comeback.
Guentzel would ice the game not too long after with an empty-netter.
From a 3-0 hole, to a 5-3 win.
Overcoming a 3-0 deficit was something the Canes haven't done since 2006 and we all remember what happened that year.
Now the team heads to New York with a 2-0 series lead, and while it's still far from over, a win like this is surely an emotional swing that is hard to overcome.
