How to Watch Cup Final Game 5: Florida Panthers at Edmonton Oilers

It feels as if the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers just wrapped up Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final yet here we are, getting ready for Game 5.

The Panthers and Oilers have gone to overtime in three of the four games thus far, with Edmonton winning Game 4 on a broken play where Leon Draisaitl’s cross-ice pass ended up in the back of the net.

For the Oilers, chasing the Panthers is not the way they want to live.

In the first two games in Edmonton, the Oilers had a first period lead but spent a lot of time chasing the Panthers.

Connor McDavid says the Oilers need to get off to a fast start tonight and this Game 5 feels much different than it did last year.

In the 2024 Final, the Panthers took a 3-0 series lead before the Oilers forced a Game 5 in Sunrise.

Going into tonight, this is anyone’s series. First to get two wins gets the Stanley Cup.

“Being down three, chasing the whole series,’’ McDavid said. “It’s a chance to put ourselves in a good spot here tonight with a big effort. We’re excited. I’m sure they’re excited too. Everyone’s excited. It’s a big game.”
