The Edmonton Oilers are under immense pressure as they face elimination again in the Stanley Cup Final, trailing the Florida Panthers 3-2. The spotlight is firmly on captain Connor McDavid, who is expected to lead the charge in Game 6. After experiencing two blowout losses, the team looks to bounce back with confidence instilled by veterans like Corey Perry, who praised McDavid's leadership and ability to lift the team during crucial moments.

Perry's admiration for McDavid, which has grown since they became teammates, highlights how McDavid's influence extends beyond his on-ice talent. His outgoing personality and ability to connect with teammates in the locker room have made him an invaluable leader. As Game 6 approaches, the Oilers hope McDavid can channel that leadership to secure a win and potentially force a Game 7 back in Edmonton.
