2024 Stanley Cup Final: Winners and Losers from Panthers-Oilers Game 5

Well, whaddya know?

The Edmonton Oilers have dragged the Florida Panthers back to Alberta.

The teams will take another 2,000-plus mile flight to get there in time for Game 6 on Friday night, which seemed unlikely after the Panthers took a 3-0 series lead but was made necessary on Tuesday when the Oilers beat them, 5-3, in Game 5 at Amerant Bank Arena.

No NHL team has rallied from three games down to win the Stanley Cup since 1942 and they're not there yet, but the Oilers have become the fourth team to force a Game 6 in a championship round after losing the first three.
