Wednesday Odds and Ends:
Leading a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-2, the Florida Panthers sustained their sole series loss to the New Jersey Devils in the 2012 NHL Preliminary round. The Toronto Maple Leafs last surmounted a 3-games-2 deficit for a best-of-7 NHL playoff series victory over the Ottawa Senators in the 2002 NHL Quarterfinals; the Leafs have an active seven-series losing streak upon trailing a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-2. Vegas is ousted from the NHL Quarterfinals round for the first time in their existence as the Golden Knights. For the first time since 2015, the Golden State Warriors have lost two of their last three best-of-7 NBA playoff series.

NHL Comeback of Spring 2025:
The Winnipeg Jets trailed the visiting St. Louis Blues Sunday 04 May by one goal as late as 19:56 into the third period of their Game 7, but emerged victorious: In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff games from 1939 through 2024, inclusive, home teams down one goal as late as 19:56 into the third period had a game record of only 2-487 (.004) - the Winnipeg Jets thus achieve a grade-A (.000 - .099) in-game comeback.

NBA Comeback of Spring 2025:
On Thursday 24 April, the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder trailed the Grizzlies in Memphis by 26 points at halftime in their Game 3, but won. In the history of best-of-7 NBA playoff games prior to Thunder-Grizzlies Game 3 (1947-2025, inclusive), road or home teams trailing by 26 points at halftime had a game record of 0-19, with all 19 losses by double-digit margins. The 26-point halftime deficit also becomes the largest halftime deficit ever surmounted by a road or home team for a game victory in a best-of-7 NBA playoff game: In Game 3 during the 2017 NBA Preliminary round, the Cleveland Cavaliers trailed the Pacers in Indiana by 25 halftime points, but won 119-pts-114.
