The NHL postseason is heating up. Check out the odds for who is favored to hoist the Stanley Cup at season's end, as well as second-round odds.

The second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs continued on Monday with a pair of Game 4s. Here are takeaways from the two games as the Carolina Hurricanes and Edmonton Oilers each moved one win away from advancing to their respective conference finals.

If the Oilers win it all, who should get credit? If the team craters, who should get the blame? Here's a look.

Rallies have been the norm for the Oilers in these playoffs. They set the Stanley Cup Playoffs record with five come-from-behind wins in one postseason, and the second round just started. While jumping out in front might be more beneficial, Edmonton has shown that even when they’re down, they’re not out.

Traditionally, Stanley Cup-winning teams have multiple, if not all of the, key ingredients that push them over the top, and into the champion’s throne.
