Facing elimination for the third time in the Stanley Cup final, the Edmonton Oilers got off to a good start in Game 6 in front of their home crowd on Friday.
A Panthers turnover in the neutral zone led to Leon Draisaitl racing down the ice. He found Warren Foegele with a perfectly weighted saucer pass, and the winger lifted the puck past Sergei Bobrovsky at 7:27.
The Oilers are hoping to become the fifth NHL team to ever come back from an 0-3 deficit to win a series, and the first to do so in the final since the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs. They are also looking to end Canada’s 30-year Stanley Cup drought.
