On that first goal from the face-off at center, Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse was caught sleeping. Marchand jumped the face-off to get the puck and then he made a move to the outside and then came inside, but Nurse didn't move his feet until he was already over in the middle of the ice.

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.

The Edmonton Oilers have their backs against the wall again. They'll need to win Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday night in Sunrise, Fla., to avoid watching the Florida Panthers celebrate a championship on their home ice for a second consecutive year.

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.

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

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.

Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch thinks it has been a bit of an unfortunate final for Connor McDavid given the amount of scoring chances that just haven't gone in.

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).
