That's around two minutes of risk-free scoring chances. You're pinching on D, and 90% of the time: the winning team isn't taking any chances and just dumping to center ice.
EDIT: Maybe 1:30 of risk-free scoring. Normally, teams ditch the goalie at 1:00 left in the game.

They're pretty good at it though... defensemen have saved two EN goals in this series alone. It's not this chaotic last 20-30 seconds like a lot of teams... they have time to sustain pressure and they're still pretty responsible on the defensive end.
