As the Edmonton Oilers gear up for Game 6 against the Florida Panthers, the stakes couldn't be higher. The return of Stuart Skinner in goal comes after a disappointing Game 5, where the Oilers managed a mere 21 shots on goal and failed to capitalize on power-play opportunities. Stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl must elevate their game; their combined four shots in the previous match was unacceptable for such elite players. With their backs against the wall, the Oilers aim to force a Game 7, a feat they have achieved through resilience in past playoff outings.

On the other side, Brad Marchand of the Panthers is making headlines, boasting impressive statistics that place him in elite company for playoff performances. As Florida looks to clinch back-to-back Stanley Cups, they could join a select group of teams achieving this feat. The Oilers must adjust their strategy to counter the Panthers' formidable defense if they hope to stay alive in the postseason.
