Definitely the biggest game in franchise history. I'm going to assume that "perennial Cup contenders" is meant here rather loosely.

Says playoff contenders. I’m assuming that to mean they made the playoffs.’

I can see the articles point, but my vote would go to game 1 against Tampa - the game that started their momentum, and showed the NHL they were for real.

Game 4 against Boston is IMO the biggest game in franchise history to date. You win that game, you go up 3-1 heading back to Boston with a ton of momentum. They didn't. They got handled, and the series turned and never turned back after that.

Positively, I will agree with @CBJ AZ goalie with game 1 against Tampa. After that game, the rest of the series was a whipping.

I agree with the choice. For me, it's probably:

1. Game 4 vs Tampa 2019
2. Foligno OT goal game, Game 4 vs Pittsburgh 2014
3. Calvert OT goal game, Game 2 vs Pittsburgh, 2014
4. Game 1 vs Tampa 2019
5. Nash scores to clinch playoff berth 2009
