Panthers Move Closer to Back-to-Back Stanley Cup Titles with 5-2 Victory Over Oilers in Game 5


In Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2, inching closer to their second consecutive title. With this win, the Panthers improved their playoff road record to 10-3 and can clinch the Cup on Tuesday at home. Brad Marchand starred with two goals, while Sam Bennett notched his playoff-leading 15th goal, enhancing Florida’s multi-goal lead approach, in contrast to previous games.

Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky made crucial saves, stopping 19 of 21 shots, supported by a strong defensive effort that stymied the Oilers’ offense. Marchand’s performance put him in elite company with Mario Lemieux, marking him as one of the few players in the last 50 years to achieve five or more goals in a final multiple times. He now holds the record for the most career goals among active players in Stanley Cup Finals with 13.

The game also saw Connor McDavid score his first goal of the series, reducing the deficit to 3-1. However, Sam Reinhart quickly restored the Panthers’ three-goal lead, rendering Corey Perry’s late goal inconsequential. Eetu Luostarinen’s empty-netter solidified the win, quieting the Edmonton crowd.

The Oilers struggled on the power play, going 0 for 3 against a fierce Panthers penalty kill that disrupted their top offensive unit. Goalie Calvin Pickard faced his first loss this postseason, allowing four goals on 18 shots. There’s speculation that Stuart Skinner may return for Game 6. The Panthers aim to capitalize on their depth and resilience after bouncing back from a tough Game 4 defeat.
