It's crunch time for the Edmonton Oilers as they now face elimination in the Stanley Cup Final for the second-straight season.

Trailing 3-2 in the Stanley Cup Final after their second dismal outing in three games, the Edmonton Oilers will have to summon every ounce of fight they have left, get up off the deck, and force a Game 7.

Mattias Ekholm's return, married to various injuries, maladies and struggles, has reset the Oilers' defensive depth chart.

While Draisaitl has ended the Oilers’ two victories in the series with overtime goals that gave him an NHL record with four in a single tournament, McDavid has beaten Sergei Bobrovsky once and has just four even-strength points in five games, one since Game 2.

The Edmonton Oilers dropped Game 5 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers. From the start of the game, Florida looked very much in control and used that to grab a massive 3-2 series lead over the Oilers.

Panthers forward Brad Marchand beat Oilers defender Jake Walman twice to win Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. How did Walman respond?

The Edmonton Oilers are in a must-win scenario after dropping Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and the question of who will start in goal for the team still looms heading into Game 6.
