With the elimination of the Blue Jackets, the 2019 Stanley Cup winner will have faced a series deficit and come back to win the series, becoming the 12th Cup champion to do so since the 2005 Lockout. Boston was down multiple times in the Toronto series and down 2-1 to Columbus.

Carolina was down 2-0 and 3-2 to Washington.

Dallas was down 2-1 to both Nashville and St Louis.

St Louis was down 3-2 to Dallas.

San Jose was down 3-1 to Vegas.

Colorado was down 3-2 to San Jose.


Since the 2005 full season lockout, only the 2008 Red Wings and 2012 Kings did not face a series deficit in their Cup winning runs.
