On that first goal from the face-off at center, Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse was caught sleeping. Marchand jumped the face-off to get the puck and then he made a move to the outside and then came inside, but Nurse didn't move his feet until he was already over in the middle of the ice.

There were no blown leads this time as the Florida Panthers down the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 behind Brad Marchand and a defensive gem.

The Panthers will go back to Sunrise for Tuesday’s Game 6 with a chance to clinch a second consecutive Stanley Cup crown after Brad Marchand scores two more goals in Edmonton.

The Edmonton Oilers will face the Florida Panthers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final Tuesday night, hoping to extend their series to a Game 7, winner-take-all matchup like they had in 2024.

Star forward Matthew Tkachuk worked hard to return from his injury just in time for this Panthers playoff run.

The Panthers, meanwhile, have no such issue. Bobrovsky is their guy. He has been ever since regaining the starting job midway through the first round of the 2023 playoffs, their first of three consecutive runs to the Stanley Cup Final. He is as steady as they come, and his performance has shown for it.
