Desperation turns to jubilation in the NHL playoffs when a trailing team manages to score the tying goal late in regulation to force overtime.

That sudden change of emotions would figure to fuel a team’s momentum in overtime. But that’s not always the case Marlon Humphrey Jersey , as evidenced the past three nights when a team that squandered a late lead managed to bounce back in overtime and earn a win.

Vegas and San Jose each experienced both sides of that roller coaster the past two games, with the Golden Knights responding with William Karlsson’s goal in overtime in Game 3 at the Shark Tank.

That came two nights after San Jose saw Nate Schmidt tie Game 2 with 6:32 left only to end up on the winning side on Logan Couture’s power-play goal in the second overtime.

”You just move on,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. ”It’s playoff hockey. We were disappointed when they scored with roughly two minutes left in the hockey game. … We regrouped in the overtime session between periods and said let’s go out there and get this game.”

This postseason has featured four games in all that went to overtime after one team tied it with less than five minutes to play. The team that blew the lead has come out on top in three of those games, with Nashville doing it to Winnipeg in Game 2 of their second-round series on Sunday night and Columbus doing it to Washington in Game 2 of their first-round series.

The Blue Jackets are the only team this postseason to force overtime with a goal in the final five minutes and win, having done it in Game 1 against the Capitals.

For all the talk of late-game momentum, teams scoring those late goals are just 7-8 in overtime the past two postseasons.

”We weren’t too happy with this as a team,” said Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, who made Karlsson’s winner possible by robbing Couture earlier in the OT. ”But everyone was relaxed between periods. We talked and we knew what we had to do.”

Momentum can be very fleeting in the playoffs whether in a game or a series. In the first five days of the second round, no team has won consecutive games in a series.

The Sharks will try to put the Game 3 loss in the past and continue that pattern to tie their series at two games apiece when they take the ice for Game 4 on Wednesday night (10 p.m. EDT Chuck Foreman Jersey , NBCSN).

”It’s easy,” Couture said. ”The schedule-makers did a good job of playing games every other day so it’s easy to forget about a game when you’ve got another one (coming). … We’re down 2-1. It doesn’t matter how you got there or what the score was in any of the games, we’re down 2-1 and we’ve got a big game.”

The Bruins will look to do the same when their second-round series against Tampa Bay shifts to Boston for Game 3 on Wednesday night (7:30 p.m. EDT, NBCSN).

Boston won the opener handily 6-2 before falling in Game 2 in Tampa Bay 4-2 on Monday night.

”I think that feel good from winning, you take that emotion into the next game,” Lightning forward Chris Kunitz said. ”But each game has its own identity, you can’t rest on what you did last game and just hope they walk away.”

STAY OUT OF THE BOX

The Sharks were one of the best teams in the regular season at avoiding penalties, going short-handed just 2.7 times per game for the fourth-lowest mark in the league. That discipline has been missing this round as Vegas has gotten 18 power plays in three games. The Golden Knights converted five of them, including two during a three-goal barrage in a span of less than five minutes of the second period in Game 2.

San Jose also went short-handed twice in overtime for having too many men on the ice and for delay of game.

”Obviously their two power play goals swing the momentum in the second period Danny Shelton Jersey , but I didn’t think our discipline or penalties were a problem, just one of those nights,” coach Peter DeBoer said.

LIGHT THE LAMP

Brayden Point is just the latest player with a big-scoring night these playoffs. He had one goal and three assists for Tampa Bay in the Game 2 win over Boston, marking the 11th time a player has posted four points in a game in this postseason. This is just the second time in the last 20 years that there have been at least 11 four-point performances in the first 52 games of the playoffs.

”He’s a special player, and when big games come about, special players take over and he did that,” teammate Tyler Johnson said. ”I can’t say enough about the guy.”

ALL TIED UP

Even though Vegas now has taken a 2-1 series lead over San Jose, all four second-round series stood tied after two games. This is just the fourth time since 1975 that teams split the first two games in all four series in the second round. It also happened in 1991, 1986 and 1984.

Retired NFL quarterback Peyton Manning is one of the biggest names on the free agent market. For broadcasters/analysts in the making, that is.The future Hall of Famer retired from football two years ago, after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos. He hasn't taken up any other professions since, but both Fox Sports and ESPN approached 'The Sheriff' and offered him contracts to be an NFL analyst.But according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Manning chose not to accept the offer from Fox. Earlier this month, he also rejected a chance to be the next NFL analyst for Monday Night Football, after Jon Gruden signed a $100 million contract to become head coach of the Oakland Raiders.CBS Sports hired former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo to replace Phil Simms as the main NFL color analyst, becoming a broadcast partner with the legendary Jim Nantz. Romo became an instant hit in the booth Duke Riley Jersey , which could explain why ESPN and Fox went hard after Manning.But unfortunately for both networks, Manning isn't ready to come out of retirement and entertain millions on a weekly basis.Not only would he be a hilarious personality (see his Saturday Night Live skits and epic commercials), but Manning also had a reputation for reading defenses like nobody else during his playing days. He'd bring tremendous in-game analysis, but the man simply doesn't feel ready. Many assumed that Manning would go into coaching or even take a front office job shortly after he retired. But unlike many other legendary athletes, Manning has opted to stay patient and enjoy retirement before finding a new line of work.It's probably only a matter of time until Manning one day gets back into the NFL world. The only question is whether it'll be as an analyst, coach, executive or something else. Adidas Brad Marchand Jersey
