2024 Stanley Cup Finals Game 6 Preview - Florida vs. Edmonton: Can the Oilers force a winner-take-all Game 7? June 20, 2024 by Marc Jerbs

The Oilers are coming off a dominant 8-1 win in Game 4 and a wire-to-wire 5-3 win in game 5. The Panthers have twice failed to secure the Stanley Cup after burying the Oilers in the first three games of these Finals.

Oilers' Captain Connor McDavid has been sensational in these Playoffs with eight goals and 34 assists, drawing comparisons to the great Wayne Gretzky. McDavid also scored the final goal that secured their Game 5.

With skillful help from Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl, Edmonton is a well-oiled scoring machine as they have shown in the past two games.

Meanwhile, the Panthers have an equally potent scoring bite with Sam Reinhart, Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov, Carter Verhaeghe and Anton Lundell.

Make no mistake, these Panthers are ready to pounce with their killer instinct.

Goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Sergei Bobrovsky have been solid walls on defense for both the Oilers and Panthers, respectively.
