Oilers Defy Odds with Stunning 5-4 OT Comeback to Even Stanley Cup Final Series Against Panthers
What a rollercoaster Game 4 we just witnessed in the Stanley Cup Final! Down 3-0 early on against the Florida Panthers, the Edmonton Oilers refused to fold. They clawed back, snagging a 4-3 lead in the final period only to see the Panthers tie it up in the dying seconds of regulation. But here’s the kicker: in overtime, Leon Draisaitl—who’s been absolutely on fire this postseason—let loose a shot that took a lucky deflection off a Panthers defenseman’s skate, sneaking past Sergei Bobrovsky to clinch a 5-4 victory. That goal didn’t just win the game; it set a new NHL record for Draisaitl’s fourth OT game-winner this playoff run! It’s wild to think this was the first time a team has overcome a three-goal first-period deficit to win on the road in a Final since 1919, and now the series is deadlocked at two apiece with the stage shifting to Edmonton. Honestly, the dramatic late goal by Florida’s Sam Reinhart with less than 20 seconds left only added fuel to this epic saga. If you’re looking for heart-pounding hockey, this is it—Game 5 can’t come fast enough! LEARN MORE
