2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs proving no lead is safe

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are proving once again that no lead is safe.
The Anaheim Ducks' 5-3 win against the Nashville Predators in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final on Sunday was their fourth after trailing by two or more goals and the 14th playoff game this season when a team has rallied from down multiple goals to win. That is one short of the playoff record of 15 that was set in 2014, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Here's a look back at the 14 multigoal comeback wins:
