The Anaheim Ducks are now in the driver's seat after a pivotal Game 5 comeback victory over the Edmonton Oilers, but if their recent history has proven anything, it's that this series is far from over.

Friday's win marked the sixth time in the last five seasons that Anaheim has earned a Game 5 victory to take a 3-2 series lead, but in four of the last five instances, the Ducks have gone on to lose both Games 6 and 7, NHL Network's Steve Mears pointed out.

It's a rather bizarre trend - here's how those four series losses have gone down.

In 2013, after splitting the first four games of their opening-round matchup with the Detroit Red Wings, the Ducks won Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead. However, the Red Wings took Game 6 in overtime and edged the Ducks in Game 7 by a 3-2 score.

The following year was wild, to say the least. In their second-round meeting with the Los Angeles Kings, the Ducks rallied after the Kings took Games 1 and 2, winning three straight for a 3-2 series lead. That did little to scare the Kings, though, as they took Game 6 and then blew out the Ducks 6-2 in Game 7 to advance.

In 2015, the Ducks had the upper hand on the eventual Cup-winning Chicago Blackhawks after Game 5. Then the Blackhawks - spearheaded by Patrick Kane, who had five points in Games 6 and 7 - awoke, cruising to 5-2 and 5-3 wins.

Finally, last season, after falling behind 2-0 in their Round 1 matchup against the Nashville Predators, the Ducks rallied, winning the next three contests. But the Predators shut down the Ducks' offense in the final two games, allowing just two combined goals to dismiss Anaheim in seven.

Recent history certainly hasn't been kind to the Ducks while leading a series 3-2, so if they're keen on advancing to the conference final, it's something they'll need to overcome against a young Oilers club.

Rickard Rakell's controversial game-tying goal in the waning seconds of Game 5 between the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks left many on the Edmonton side confused and frustrated by trying to understand the definition of goaltender interference.

"If someone knows what goalie interference is anymore, please call me and tell me," Oilers forward Milan Lucic told TSN's Frank Seravalli after Friday's game.

Oilers head coach Todd McLellan was at a similar loss.

"We're disappointed, but we can't be mad at anybody. ... Interference? You're asking the wrong guy, I don't know what that is anymore," he told John Hoven of MayorsManor.com.

On the Rakell goal, netminder Cam Talbot had to deal with a sprawling Corey Perry on top of him and Ryan Kesler appeared to grab Talbot's pad with his hand. The goal was allowed because Kesler was shoved into the crease by Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse.

It stood as Anaheim's third tally in the final three minutes of the game. Perry went on to complete the comeback and give the Ducks the win in double overtime.

The Oilers get a chance to even the series at three games apiece Sunday on home ice.

Though it was overshadowed by the Anaheim Ducks' miraculous comeback, Cam Talbot turned in a record-setting performance Friday night.

The Edmonton Oilers netminder stopped 60 shots in the team's 4-3 double-overtime loss in Game 5, setting a new Oilers record for saves in a playoff game.

Dwayne Roloson held the record previously after he made 54 stops against the Detroit Red Wings in 2006.

With his 60-save effort and 64 shots against Friday night, Talbot has now faced a playoff-high 372 shots in 11 games, while making a playoff-best 342 saves.

The Edmonton Oilers are mad.

After blowing a 3-0 lead in Game 5 and eventually losing 4-3 in double overtime, the club is left searching for answers. Particularly to one question: Why wasn't Rickard Rakell's game-tying goal disallowed?

The Anaheim Ducks forward scored with only 15 seconds left to force extras, and while the tally was automatically reviewed for goaltender interference, it stood. The rest is history. But the Oilers want an explanation, especially about Ryan Kesler's left hand:

Kesler was ruled to have been pushed into the crease by Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse, but it appears in the image above that he had a hold on Oilers goalie Cam Talbot's pad after the fact.

An opposing view, from The Athletic's James Mirtle, which will certainly go over well in Edmonton:

The Edmonton Oilers are officially facing elimination, and were sent to the brink in the most heartbreaking way imaginable.

Corey Perry scored the game-winning goal in double overtime as the Anaheim Ducks won Game 5 by a 4-3 score. Anaheim now leads the series 3-2.

Perry and his teammates erased a 3-0 lead late in the third period, scoring three goals in three minutes and one second, all with goaltender John Gibson on the bench. Rickard Rakell's game-tying marker was scored with only 15 seconds left on the clock.

The Ducks outshot the Oilers 20-9 in overtime, and 64-38 overall. Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot played one of the best games of his life, but it wasn't enough.

Peter Chiarelli's Edmonton Oilers were three minutes and change away from a pivotal Game 5 win on the road over the Anaheim Ducks.

Then it all fell apart.

Instead of being a win away from the Western Conference final, the Oilers were looking at overtime after blowing a 3-0 lead, with all three Anaheim goals coming with its net empty.

Rickard Rakell's game-tying goal just about ended the poor Oilers general manager.

Three goals in three minutes. All with the net empty.

The Edmonton Oilers were up 3-0 with play winding down in the third period of Game 5 against Anaheim. Then the Ducks decided they wanted to play some extra time.

Ryan Getzlaf, Cam Fowler, and Rickard Rakell scored in a span of three minutes - with Rakell's tying marker coming with 15 seconds to play - to send Game 5 to overtime.

Rakell's goal was reviewed to determine if Cam Talbot was interfered with, but the call on the ice stood.

Talbot deserved a better fate in regulation. He stopped 41 of 44 shots, including 19 of 22 in the third period.

Here are all three goals:

Is there anything Connor McDavid can't do?

The Edmonton Oilers star swatted the puck out of mid-air to give his club a 2-0 lead on the Anaheim Ducks early in the second period of Game 5 on Friday night.

It came on a two-man advantage for Edmonton, and it was McDavid's fifth goal of these playoffs.
