The Houston Astros will try to join rare company Saturday (8:37 p.m. ET, TBS) by winning a postseason series after overcoming a 3-0 deficit.

Seemingly on the ropes after being held to five total runs in the opening three games, the Astros have erupted for 15 runs in three consecutive wins against the Tampa Bay Rays to force a Game 7 in the American League Championship Series. .

The New York Yankees took a commanding 3-0 lead with a 19-8 win in Game 3 of the ALCS.

The Islanders, making their first playoff appearance, showed the resilience under coach Al Arbour that would eventually lead to four consecutive Stanley Cup championships in the 1980s

They overcame a 3-0 deficit against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round, winning Game 7 on a shutout by Glenn "Chico" Resch. Then they nearly did the same the following round against the defending champion Philadelphia Flyers before falling in Game 7

The Flyers stayed alive in Game 4 of the second round against the Boston Bruins when Simon Gagne scored in overtime. Philadelphia then lost starting goalie Brian Boucher to injury in the next game, and backup Michael Leighton stopped 44 of 45 Bruins shots to win Games 5 and 6

The Bruins, playing at home, took a 3-0 lead in Game 7 before the Flyers rallied to win 4-3 on Gagne's second game-winner of the series

The San Jose Sharks won the first two games of the first-round series with blowouts, then won Game 3 in overtime

Then Kings goalie Jonathan Quick, who was pulled in Game 1, stopped 130 of 135 shots over the final four games to advance
