Oilers Defy Odds with Stunning 5-4 OT Comeback to Even Stanley Cup Final Series Against Panthers
Prior to Draisaitl’s game-winning goal, the Panthers were able to tie the game and ultimately force overtime in the final seconds of regulation. After Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard couldn’t clear the puck up the boards, Panthers forward Sam Reinhart buried the tying goal off a scrum in front with just 19.5 seconds left in regulation.
That marked the second-latest goal in a Stanley Cup Final game in history, trailing only Corey Perry’s game-winner with 18 seconds left in Game 2.
Panthers jumped out to 3-0 lead, prompting goalie change
The Panthers jumped all over the Oilers in the opening 20 minutes with three goals. Matthew Tkachuk opened the scoring with a power-play goal from the face-off circle and later added a rebound goal.
