Seven-time Emmy Award-winner Mike ‘Doc’ Emrick, U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame member Eddie Olczyk and ‘Inside-the-Glass’ analyst Pierre McGuire called the action from Madison Square Garden in New York, N.Y.
KINGS-BLACKHAWKS (2014 WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL) AT 5 P.M. ET
In a back-and-forth affair, the Kings tied the Game 7 at four goals apiece in the third period to send the matchup into overtime. With a trip to the Stanley Cup Final on the line, Alec Martinez played hero for the Kings with the game-winner early in overtime, a role he would reprise in Game 5 of the Cup Final against the Rangers to clinch the title for the Kings.
Play-by-play commentator Kenny Albert, analyst Joe Micheletti, and ‘Inside-the-Glass’ analyst Brian Engblom called the matchup from United Center in Chicago, Ill.
MAPLE LEAFS-BRUINS (2013 EASTERN CONFERENCE QUARTERFINALS) AT 7 P.M. ET
The Maple Leafs held a commanding 4-1 lead in Game 7 in Boston midway through the third period, before the Bruins stormed back to force OT, punctuated by a pair of goals with their goalie pulled. Patrice Bergeron scored the overtime winner for a 5-4 victory, which marked the first time in NHL history a team overcame a three-goal deficit in the final period of Game 7 to go on to win the game and the series.
The late, great Dave Strader (play-by-play) and ‘Inside-the-Glass’ analyst Brian Engblom had the call at TD Garden in Boston, Mass.
GOLDEN KNIGHTS-SHARKS (2019 FIRST ROUND) AT 9 P.M. ET
Vegas led the game 3-0 midway through the third period, before a major penalty that gave San Jose a five-minute power play. The Sharks scored four times on that power play to take a 4-3 lead, but Vegas evened the score in the final minute to force OT. In the overtime period, Barclay Goodrow scored the series-winning goal, helping the Sharks become the second team in NHL history, along with the 2013 Bruins, to overcome a three-goal deficit in the third period of a Game 7.
Play-by-play commentator Gord Miller and analyst Ray Ferraro called the action from SAP Center in San Jose, Calif.
