Panthers-Oilers Game 5 takeaways, early look at Game 6

With the Stanley Cup in the building for a second straight game, the Florida Panthers couldn't quite muster enough in Game 5 to clinch, as the Edmonton Oilers skated away with a 5-3 victory.

The game started mildly enough, with a 1-0 Oilers lead after one frame. Things got wild in the second period, with five goals combined from the two teams. While the Panthers got within one in the third, they couldn't get the equalizer, and Connor McDavid scored an empty-net goal to put the capper on the festivities.
