Oilers look to avoid elimination against visiting Panthers in Game 6 of Stanley Cup

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers face another crucial game this Friday night.

They will host Game 6 against the Florida Panthers, aiming to avoid elimination yet again in the Stanley Cup final.

The Oilers have secured two consecutive victories, narrowing the Panthers’ series lead to 3-2.

If a Game 7 is needed, it will take place Monday in South Florida.

Edmonton aims to become the fifth NHL team to overcome an 0-3 deficit to win a series.

The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs remain the only team in league history to win the Stanley Cup after such a comeback.
