The Edmonton Oilers have forced the Stanley Cup Final back to Canada after beating the Florida Panthers in Game 5 on Tuesday night.
The Edmonton Oilers are halfway done with being a part of history. After trailing the Stanley Cup Final three games to nothing, the Oilers have now won back-to-back games, as they forced a Game 6 on Tuesday. The Oilers took down the Florida Panthers in Game 5 on the road, 5-3, to move the series back to Canada.
The Panthers got on the power play early in the first, but it was Edmonton’s Connor Brown who scored a short-handed breakaway goal to put the Oilers up, 1-0, which is also how they started Game 4 en route to an 8-1 victory to keep their season alive. The second period looked just like that contest, with five goals scored. Less than two minutes into the period, Zach Hyman gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead, and then Connor McDavid lit the lamp three minutes later.
With the win, the Oilers became the first team to win Game 5 on the road after trailing 3-0 in NHL history. The Oilers are looking to become the fifth team in NHL history to win a series after trailing 3-0, and the first since the 2014 Los Angeles Kings did so in the first round - they wound up winning the Cup that year after winning two more Game 7s. The only comeback in the Cup Final was in 1942 by the Toronto Maple Leafs - it was the first 3-0 comeback in the Big 4 leagues.
Game 6 is Friday in Alberta at 8 p.m. ET. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
