The Stanley Cup hangs in the balance, as the final series moves to Florida for the first time in 2025.

The Panthers levelled the series in Edmonton late last week, and the pressure will now be on the Oilers, as they aim to remain in the contest following two games at Amerant Bank Arena.

But, games three and four will give the Panthers a huge opportunity to seize control of the Stanley Cup.

Panthers vs. Oilers Game 2 Recap

For the second game running, a thrilling contest was played out between the Oilers and Panthers at Rogers Place. However, it would be the Panthers that would hold their nerve, as they came back from 3-2 behind to steal the victory in the second period of overtime.

Everything appeared to be going to plan for the Oilers after storming into a strong advantage in the opening period. However, they would fail to maintain the relentless pace that they had set, scoring just one more goal across the remaining two periods.

The Panthers showed why they are the Stanley Cup champions, netting four goals across the opening two periods, before eventually levelling the series in the second period of overtime.

Brad Marchand was in excellent form for the Panthers, netting twice in an action-packed encounter. Florida’s other goals in the dramatic win were ed by Seth Jones, Sam Bennett, and Dmitry Kulikov.

Connor McDavid ended the night with three assists for the Oilers. Meanwhile, their goals on a disappointing evening in front of their home fans were scored by Evan Bouchard, Leon Draisaitl, and Evander Kane.
