The Florida Panthers have a 3-2 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final and can claim consecutive Cups with a win in Tuesday’s Game 6.

There were no blown leads this time as the Florida Panthers down the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 behind Brad Marchand and a defensive gem.

Panthers forward Sam Bennett spoke on his team's success in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Oilers.

With a chance to become the ninth different franchise to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, the Panthers know a strong start will be key again in Game 6 on Tuesday. Welcoming the Oilers back to Amerant Bank Arena – the site of Florida’s Cup-clinching win over Edmonton in Game 7 just a year ago – both players and the home crowd will be ready.

The Panthers, meanwhile, have no such issue. Bobrovsky is their guy. He has been ever since regaining the starting job midway through the first round of the 2023 playoffs, their first of three consecutive runs to the Stanley Cup Final. He is as steady as they come, and his performance has shown for it.

The first three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs were proof that this Edmonton Oilers team isn’t the same as the previous ones that struggled in the playoffs.

The performance of Pickard throughout the playoffs has given them a clear advantage over the Panthers. Here’s why – he makes big saves in big moments. Looking at just save percentage, Pickard has been elite in the playoffs. He has the second-best save percentage in the third period (.915) and the best when his team is trailing (.921).

THE EDMONTON OILERS Records, they say, are made to be broken. Well, Leon Draisaitl and the Oilers just broke multiple ... in the same game ... to potentially save their season. Draisatil scored the game-winner to propel Edmonton to a 5-4 overtime Game 4 win over the Panthers.
