Score, updates from Panthers vs Oilers Game 6

play

The Florida Panthers, who once seemingly controlled the Stanley Cup Final, will attempt to win their first NHL championship for the third time.

The Panthers led 3-0 in the best-of-seven series against the Edmonton Oilers, but lost 8-1 in Game 4 and 5-3 in Game 5, sending the series back to Canada for Game 6.

The Panthers will have to figure out a way to slow down Oilers star Connor McDavid, who has had back-to-back four-point games.

If the Oilers win Friday night and force a Game 7, it will be only the third time in NHL history that a team has come from a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final to reach the final game.

Follow along for live updates from Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final:

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is back with the Connor McDavid line. Warren Foegele goes to the Leon Draisaitl line.

Last game of the season in Edmonton, no matter what happens.

Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch has drafted this lineup first the last two games and it makes sense to start over with it. It resulted in three goals.

Matthew Tkachuk was the Panthers’ best player in Game 5 and goes out first. This is a physical line that can set the tone.

Nick Cousins ​​moves onto the Panthers’ fourth line after seven games. Kyle Okposo comes out of the lineup. Cousins ​​is an energy player who ranked sixth on the team in hits during the regular season. He has one assist in eleven playoff games.

According to ESPN, Oliver Ekman-Larsson is expected to move into the Panthers’ No. 1 power spot in place of Brandon Montour. Montour’s pass was intercepted in Game 5, leading to an Oilers shorthanded goal.

Injured Oilers forward Evander Kane, who was ruled a game-time decision, will not play.

Connor McDavid has 11 points in the finals, putting him two points behind Wayne Gretzky’s record from 1988. He has already passed Gretzky’s record for assists in a postseason with 34. McDavid’s 42 playoff points put him in fourth place all-time behind Gretzky (47, 1985), Mario Lemieux (41, 1991) and Gretzky (43, 1988).

Oilers star Leon Draisaitl is still waiting for his first goal of the Stanley Cup Final.

“I’ve always been able to bounce back from periods where I might not have been at my best,” he told reporters on Friday. “It’s just that I’m getting better. I hold myself to extremely high standards. If I don’t achieve that, obviously I’m not happy.”

Oil squirters: Stay aggressive on special teams. The Oilers have scored two shorthanded goals and three power play goals in the last two games.

Panthers: Play like they did after trailing 4-1 in Game 5. But do it sooner. Score early and try to take the crowd out of the game.
