The Panthers have never won a Stanley Cup in franchise history. On Monday night, they have a chance to win it at home in front of the Florida faithful.
Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final is set for tonight, and once again, Sergei Bobrovsky, Matthew Tkachuk, and the rest of the Eastern Conference champs have a chance to promote themselves to Stanley Cup champions.
The Oilers still have their backs against the wall thanks to the Panthers’ 3-1 series lead. Edmonton survived to see another day with a dominant 8-1 win in Game 4 on Saturday, securing the team’s first win of the series. Connor McDavid broke Wayne Gretzky’s record for the most assists in a single postseason by recording his 32nd helper in what was a four-point night for the Edmonton captain.

The win was the first in what is a necessary four consecutive victories if the Oilers want to pull off an unprecedented comeback. Only four teams have ever recovered from a 3-0 series deficit in NHL playoff history, and only the 1942 Maple Leafs did so in the Stanley Cup Final.
Will the Oilers keep their hopes of lifting Lord Stanley alive with a win in Game 5? Or will the Panthers send Amerant Bank Arena into jubilation with a Stanley Cup-clinching victory on home ice?
