A 3-1 series comeback in the NHL refers to a team trailing three games to one in a best-of-seven playoff series, and then winning the next three games to advance to the next round. This type of comeback is considered rare and difficult to achieve, as teams facing a 3-1 deficit are often considered heavy underdogs. However, it has happened several times in NHL history, with the most recent example being the 2020 Dallas Stars coming back against the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Second Round.
Detroit came back from a 3-1 deficit to advance over Orlando in 2003. The Magic won the first game, the Pistons won the second, Orlando won games 3 and 4 while Detroit won games 5, 6, and 7. Phoenix Suns came back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs in 2006.
