Oilers Stand at the Edge of an Unthinkable Stanley Cup Final Record—Can They Reverse Fate?
The Edmonton Oilers find themselves on a razor’s edge once again as the 2025 Stanley Cup Final drifts toward a nail-biting climax. After dropping a tough 5-2 decision at home in Game 5 to the reigning Florida Panthers, the pressure mounts fiercely on Connor McDavid and his squad. The series now heads south, to the Panthers’ den, where Florida stands poised to clinch back-to-back championships in Game 6 on Tuesday. This rematch—a rarity in Stanley Cup history—has unfolded with a different flavor than last year’s heart-stopping showdown, when the Oilers stunned the world by clawing back from a 3-0 hole, only to fall in Game 7 on hostile ice.
