Edmonton Oilers Stage Historic Comeback, Force Game 7 in Stanley Cup Final

The Edmonton Oilers completed a historic comeback on Friday night, defeating the Florida Panthers 5-1 to tie the 2024 Stanley Cup Final at 3-3.

This sets the stage for a winner-take-all Game 7, where the Oilers will have the opportunity to become only the second team in NHL history to overcome a 0-3 deficit and win the Stanley Cup. The last team to achieve this feat was the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942.

For the Oilers, this marks their third consecutive series where they have come from behind to secure victory, showcasing their resilience and determination.

Leading the charge for the Oilers is captain Connor McDavid, who has been instrumental in their playoff success with his record-breaking performances.

In Game 6, McDavid’s teammates stepped up to contribute to the win, with goals from players like Leon Draisaitl, Warren Foegele, Adam Henrique, Zach Hyman, and others.

Despite the Panthers’ efforts to mount a comeback in the third period, the Oilers’ solid defense and team play proved to be the difference.

Heading into Game 7, both teams have a chance to make history, with the Panthers aiming for their first-ever Stanley Cup victory and the Oilers looking to capture their first championship since 1993.
