In a commanding performance, the Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2, putting them just one win away from the Stanley Cup. Brad Marchand, at age 37, showcased his veteran prowess with key offensive plays, including two goals that significantly impacted the game's momentum. The Panthers' defense stifled the Oilers, limiting their scoring opportunities, while Eetu Luostarinen sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.

Despite an electrifying goal from Connor McDavid, the Oilers struggled to find consistent offense, particularly in the face of Florida's robust defensive strategy. The Panthers capitalized on turnovers and maintained pressure, leading to a strong road performance in the Stanley Cup Final. With the series nearing its end, the Oilers must regroup quickly, having displayed their resilience previously in the playoffs.
