Edmonton Oilers Force Game 7 in Stanley Cup Final

Panthers Lose 5-1, Oilers Secure Second Chance at Championship

Edmonton, Alberta - June 10, 2024

The Edmonton Oilers have forced a dramatic Game 7 in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final with a hard-fought 5-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Friday night. After trailing 3-0 in the series, the Oilers have become just the third team in NHL history to force a seventh game in the Final.

The Oilers' comeback has been fueled by their high-scoring offense, led by Connor McDavid, who scored a goal and assisted on two others in Friday's victory. The team's defense, which had struggled in the first three games of the series, has also been solid in the past two games, allowing just three goals.

The Panthers' hopes of winning their first Stanley Cup in franchise history were dampened by the defeat, but they will still have a chance to claim the championship on home ice in Game 7 on Monday night.
