Oilers Defy Odds with Stunning 5-4 OT Comeback to Even Stanley Cup Final Series Against Panthers
The Oilers began their comeback with a goal from forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins just 3:33 into the second period. At the 12:47 mark of the frame, defenseman Darnell Nurse let go of a perfectly-placed shot that snuck in over the shoulder of Bobrovsky. Finally, forward Vasily Podkolzin sent a sweeping backhanded shot into the net to tie the game with under five minutes remaining in the third period.
Prior to Reinhart’s game-tying goal, Oilers defenseman Jake Walman played the role of hero at the time. After Aleksander Barkov turned the puck over in his own zone, Kasperi Kapanen found Walman for a one-timer that the veteran blue-liner ripped past Bobrovsky.
