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.
