The reverse sweep is the act of losing consecutive games to the brink of elimination and staging a comeback to win the remaining games and winning the series.

In NHL history, only 4 teams have completed this task successfully with the Los Angeles Kings being the most recent. They came back from 0-3 to defeat the San Jose Shacks 4-3 in the 2014 Western Conference Finals.

As opposed to the clean sweep where a team wins all consecutive games to win a series, only the very best teams can be confident enough to voluntarily lose the opening games of a series to perform the reverse sweep.

Currently the 2022 Edmonton Oilers are have the Colorado Avalanche right where they want them. Performing the reverse sweep is going to embarrass the team and the entire fan base.
