The Oilers came out flat in a crucial Game 5, falling behind by a pair of goals and ultimately losing the encounter, 5-2. Now, they must channel their inner 2024 mindset and “drag them back to Alberta” for a winner-take-all Game 7 in Edmonton for the ages.
Edmonton mustered 21 shots on goal but looked like a shell of themselves in a pressure-packed Game 5.
Connor McDavid finally scored his first goal of the Stanley Cup Finals. The third-period wrist shot breakthrough was in vain as the Panthers answered right back to extend the lead, 4-1, on a Sam Reinhart counterpunch.
Corey Perry added Edmonton’s second goal with just over four minutes left in the game.
Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard was under attack from the opening puck drop. He secured 14 saves in the loss. It was his first full game of the series after replacing Stuart Skinner in Game 4.
Edmonton head coach Kris Knoblauch will pivot back to Skinner for the must-win scenario. He is 7-6 with a 2.99 goals against average and a .891 save percentage in 14 starts this postseason.
It marks the first time the Oilers will face elimination in the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs. They strung together a 5-1 record last year in such games, with the lone loss being their Game 7 heartbreak against the Panthers. Road teams facing elimination in Game 6 have split the last 12 matchups.

The Panthers pounced in the first period and took the raucous crowd out of the equation early. With Lord Stanley’s Cup in the building, a dynasty is emerging in Sunrise.
Brad Marchand opened up the scoring just over nine minutes into the game. Sam Bennett followed suit with an assist from Matthew Tkachuk. Marchand added his second goal in the third period with a mesmerizing transition down the ice to give the Panthers a 3-0 lead.
Marchand has become the frontrunner for the Conn Smythe, tallying six goals in the Stanley Cup Finals. He is the first player to score five or more goals with multiple teams (Boston Bruins) in Stanley Cup Finals history
Bennett has nabbed six straight road games with a goal, becoming only the fifth player in NHL history to achieve the feat. He has lit the lamp 15 times this postseason.
Eetu Luostarinen found an empty-net insurance goal with just over a minute left in the game.
Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky needed just 19 saves to secure the win. He sports a 15-7 record with a 2.26 goals against average and a .912 save percentage in 22 playoff games this postseason.
The Panthers have won 10 road games this postseason, tying the NHL record.
Florida is one win away from becoming the first team to repeat as Stanley Cup champions by beating the same team since the Montreal Canadiens against the Boston Bruins in 1977 and 1978.
