Though getting whooped in the playoffs is never ideal, it's not always the dagger.

The Edmonton Oilers are licking their wounds after being humiliated 7-0 by the San Jose Sharks in Game 4 of their first-round series Tuesday night, but plenty of humbled clubs have gotten the last laugh.

Here are five teams that bounced back to win a series after suffering a playoff blowout:

Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers jumped out to a 3-0 series lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins in their 2012 first-round matchup. Then there was Game 4, which didn't exactly go Philadelphia's way.

Jordan Staal notched a hat trick, and the Penguins also got three-point nights from Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Steve Sullivan as they cruised to a 10-3 victory.

Pittsburgh won again in Game 5 - this time by a much tighter 3-2 score - to cut Philadelphia's series lead to that same 3-2 margin, but the Flyers knocked out the Penguins two days later with a 5-1 victory in Game 6.

San Jose Sharks

The Sharks and the Calgary Flames engaged in a wild first-round series in 1995, combining for eight goals or more in six of the seven games.

Calgary dismantled San Jose 9-2 in Game 3, thanks to a hat trick and a four-point night from current Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan, two goals and an assist from Joe Nieuwendyk, and four helpers from Theo Fleury.

The drubbing notched the Flames their first win of the series. They'd win again in Games 4 and 5 - the latter a 5-0 blowout - but the Sharks responded with a victory in Game 6, and Ray Whitney scored the double-overtime winner in Game 7.

The Sharks, again

Maybe it's something in the water in San Jose.

The Sharks were again unfazed in 2010 when they managed to recover from a 7-1 thrashing by the Detroit Red Wings in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinal.

It certainly helped that the Sharks had earned a 3-0 advantage with three consecutive 4-3 wins before the blowout. Neither Johan Franzen's four-goal effort nor Todd Bertuzzi's five-point night were ultimately enough to prevent San Jose from moving on to the conference final with a 2-1 victory two nights later.

The Sharks had rallied to win their 1994 first-round series against the Red Wings after suffering a 7-1 loss in Game 6, edging Detroit 3-2 in Game 7.

Detroit Red Wings

The Red Wings pulled off a series win of their own after being blown out in 1997.

This time, it was Detroit on the losing end of a 6-0 rout courtesy of the Colorado Avalanche in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final. Joe Sakic chipped in three points including a pair of goals and Claude Lemieux scored twice to help the Avalanche cut the Red Wings' series lead to 3-2.

Detroit shook it off and eliminated Colorado, advancing to the Stanley Cup Final with a 3-1 win in Game 6. The Red Wings went on to sweep the Flyers, winning their eighth championship and first title since 1955.

Vancouver Canucks

Opening a playoff run with a blowout loss rarely bodes well, but the Canucks overcame a humiliating defeat to the St. Louis Blues back in 2003.

The Blues walloped the Canucks 6-0 in the first game of their first-round series that year. Alexander Khavanov scored twice for St. Louis, and the Blues got a goal apiece from Doug Weight, Keith Tkachuk, Cory Stillman, and Tyson Nash. Canucks goalie Dan Cloutier allowed all six.

Vancouver won Game 2, then dropped the next two contests and fell behind 3-1 in the series before reeling off three straight wins.

Team Canada revealed its initial roster for the 2017 World Championship on Wednesday, designating 18 players to the tournament, which will be played in France and Germany.

Canada's brain trust includes Philadelphia Flyers general manager Ron Hextall and Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper, who will assume the same role overseas, and will have plenty familiar faces to work with.

The players listed on the team so far are as follows:

Forwards

Defense

Goalies

Of course, more players can and will fill out the remainder of the roster, which includes the option of adding members eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Canada has won back-to-back gold medals at the tournament, and will aim for a three-peat beginning May 5 versus Czech Republic.

Jesse Puljujarvi is heading overseas.

The Edmonton Oilers prospect was loaned to Finland's national team for the upcoming World Championship, the NHL club announced Wednesday.

He helped Finland win gold at the 2016 world juniors, racking up 17 points in seven games.

The 18-year-old posted 28 points in 37 contests for the AHL's Bakersfield Condors this season after a 28-game NHL stint in which he scored a goal and added seven assists.

Puljujarvi was taken fourth overall by the Oilers in last year's draft.

Buffalo Sabres superstar Jack Eichel will sport the stars and stripes this spring, as the 20-year-old was added to the United States' World Championship roster Wednesday.

Eichel will join the likes of Nick Bjugstad, Dylan Larkin, and Christian Dvorak, among others on the American roster.

The Massachusetts native has represented the U.S. in the Under-18 tournament, world juniors, and the 2015 World Championship.

In his sophomore season with the Sabres this year, Eichel led the team with 57 points despite missing 21 games due to injury.

Team USA will begin its tournament May 5 versus Germany in Cologne.

Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NHL fantasy picture for Wednesday, April 19 (all advanced statistics courtesy of Corsica.Hockey and apply to 5v5 situations):

Dynamic Duos

• LW Zach Parise (47K) & C Eric Staal (46K), Wild (at Blues): The Blues own the worst 5v5 Corsi rating of all 16 playoff teams, yet they lead the Wild, owners of the best CF%, three games to none. Minnesota is averaging nearly a full expected goal per 60 minutes more than St. Louis and roughly 1.5 more scoring chances per 60. Lean on Minnesota's most experienced forwards, as will head coach Bruce Boudreau.

• LW Alex Ovechkin (65) & C Nicklas Backstrom (59K), Capitals (at Maple Leafs): The Capitals' first line of Ovechkin, Backstrom and RW T.J. Oshie led the team with 21.31 percent of the 5v5 playing time in Game 3. Even still, head coach Barry Trotz said he's committed to playing Ovechkin more in Game 4. He has two goals on 15 shots on goal through three games. Backstrom has two goals and an assist on eight SOG.

Bargain Plays

• LW Clarke MacArthur (25K), Senators (at Bruins): MacArthur was held without a shot on goal in the Senators Game 3 victory, but he was able to tally three SOG in each of the series' first two games. He played 16:45 in Game 2 and 14:17 in Game 3, primarily on a line with C Jean-Gabriel Pageau and LW Tom Pyatt. He is also seeing time on the top power-play unit as the fourth forward.

• D T.J. Brodie (25K), Flames (vs. Ducks): Brodie has played 65.28 percent of the power-play time and 29.22 percent of the 5v5 time through the first three games of the series. He has been producing on offense, with four assists through the three games. At the minimum salary, he is a much better target than the higher-priced forwards, as he receives much of the same opportunity.

Top Fades

• C Evgeny Kuznetsov (57K), Capitals (at Maple Leafs): More ice time for Ovechkin, and subsequently Backstrom, will mean less time for Kuznetsov. His TOI already dipped in Game 3, his lowest of the series thus far, though he did register his first goal of the postseason. He possesses a salary similar to Backstrom, with the latter being the preferred target.

• LW Jason Zucker (35K), Wild (at Blues): Zucker played just 15.2 percent of 5v5 minutes in Game 3. His 13:15 of total ice time was his least playing time since Game 81 of the regular season. His salary hasn't dipped very much, despite a lack of playoff production. Opt for the more proven options from Minnesota.

Contrarian Options

• RW Michael Frolik (38K), Flames (vs. Ducks): Frolik has just one assist in the three games thus far, but he tallied a series-high three SOG in Game 3. He has played no less than 18:39 in each of the three games. His 5v5 line has been the most used by Calgary, while he has also played 13.9 percent of the power-play minutes.

• LW Nick Ritchie (27K), Ducks (at Flames): Ritchie play 13:38 in Game 3, his highest total of the playoffs. He responded by scoring his first goal, though he tallied just one SOG for the second consecutive game. He played just 10.59 percent of the 5v5 minutes, but he remained opposite RW Corey Perry with Antoine Vermette centering the third line.

Two overtime losses aren't going to rattle the Washington Capitals.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have captured momentum, and currently lead the first-round series 2-1 entering Game 4 at Air Canada Centre on Wednesday night.

Heading into the pivotal contest, Capitals defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk said he isn't fazed by the increased stakes.

"This is what you enjoy, you enjoy being down and playing desperate hockey," Shattenkirk told Sean Fitz-Gerald of The Athletic after the morning skate.

All three games thus far have been decided in overtime, and the Presidents' Trophy winner will have to push the pace to avoid a 3-1 hole heading back to D.C.

"We know our aspirations, our aspirations are certainly as big as they get," forward Justin Williams told ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. "It's very rare when you see a team waltz their way all the way to the Stanley Cup."

Based on the series to date, it's safe to assume Game 4 will continue the wildly entertaining trend.

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl will face a hearing Wednesday for spearing San Jose Sharks forward Chris Tierney in Game 4, the NHL Department of Player Safety announced.

Here's the play, which occurred late in the second period Tuesday night.

Draisaitl was ejected from the game, which the Oilers went on to lose 7-0.

Bruins forward Brad Marchand was suspended two games in the regular season for a similar incident.

Jack Eichel's agent is denying a report claiming his client won't re-up with the Buffalo Sabres if Dan Bylsma remains head coach.

"I don't know where anyone is getting these reports, but they are ridiculous in a word," Peter Fish told John Vogl of The Buffalo News on Wednesday.

Multiple sources told WGR 550's Paul Hamilton that Eichel has no desire to sign a contract extension with the Sabres this summer if Bylsma is still employed by the club, but the 20-year-old's representative said there's no ill will between his client and the coach or general manager Tim Murray.

"Jack, he left Buffalo, he thought he had a real good meeting with coach Bylsma and a real good meeting with Murray," Fish said. "When he got home to Boston, he was genuinely excited with the thoughts that maybe they're just a few players away from getting into the playoffs."

The agent said he and Eichel plan to meet with the GM again.

"We hope to be having talks with Tim Murray when the time is right here, and ... (Eichel would) like nothing better than to bring the Stanley Cup to Buffalo because it's a great city. They're a passionate fan base. A lot of fans are a lot like Jack in the way he grew up in his family," Fish said.

"So I just don't know where this is coming from, and quite frankly it's someone who's got an axe to grind for some reason who doesn't know him and doesn't understand him."

Eichel just finished the second season of his three-year, entry-level contract. Bylsma has three years remaining on the five-year agreement he inked in 2015.

Jack Eichel is reportedly presenting the Buffalo Sabres with an ultimatum.

The 20-year-old forward has no desire to sign a contract extension with the club in the offseason if Dan Bylsma is still the head coach, multiple sources told WGR 550's Paul Hamilton.

Eichel has one more year remaining on his entry-level deal before he becomes a restricted free agent. Bylsma has three years left on his contract.

Sabres general manager Tim Murray said last week that he would meet with team owners Terry and Kim Pegula this week, and WGR 550 reports that discussion will take place Wednesday.

Eichel led Buffalo in points and ranked second on the team in goals this season despite missing 21 games due to injury.
