The Edmonton Oilers Defeated The Florida Panthers 5-1 On Friday To Force A Winner-Take-All Game 7 In The Stanley Cup Finals
In an improbable comeback from a three-game deficit, the Edmonton Oilers forced a deciding Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals with a 5-1 demolition of the Florida Panthers on Friday. The victory sets up a thrilling finale to the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, with everything on the line in Game 7.
Game 7 will be the 18th in Stanley Cup Final history since the NHL moved to a best-of-7 format in 1939. The Oilers are now one win away from their first Stanley Cup championship since 1990, while the Panthers are looking to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
The Oilers' victory on Friday was a complete team effort. Connor McDavid led the way with two goals and an assist, while Leon Draisaitl added a goal and two assists. Evan Bouchard, Tyson Barrie, and Zach Hyman also scored for the Oilers.
The Panthers were led by Aleksander Barkov, who scored their lone goal of the game. Sergei Bobrovsky made 28 saves in net for the Panthers, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Oilers' offensive onslaught.
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals will take place on Saturday night in Edmonton. The Oilers will be looking to close out the series and win their first Stanley Cup in over three decades, while the Panthers will be looking to force a Game 8 and keep their championship hopes alive.
