THIRD PERIOD

17.3: WE'RE DRAGGING THESE CATS BACK TO EDMONTON! After Tkachuk made an unreal goal-line clearance as the puck was about to slide over the line, McDavid settled himself and picked up the puck before burying his second of the game and fourth point to secure the Oilers a 5-3 victory in Game 5! The victory pushes the Stanley Cup Final back to Edmonton for Game 6 on Friday with the series at 3-2 in favour of Florida.

WHAT A GAME! WHAT A TEAM!

FINAL SCORE: EDMONTON 5, FLORIDA 3!

1:00: Janmark pushes the puck off the post on an empty net! These margins are so small as we hit the final minute with the Panthers having an O-zone draw.

1:38: Timeout: Panthers.

2:31: The Panthers have pulled Bobrovsky for the extra attacker. This is everything right here.

7:32: Keep moving your feet! That's how it's done. After Perry goes to work down low, it comes out to Foegele, who goes around a defender and draws a tripping penalty. A chance for the Oilers to get back to a two-goal lead.

13:41: Tkachuk takes a dive on a hook delivered by Dylan Holloway off a giveaway and the referee calls both. Four-on-four.

15:56: The Cats claw to within one. Tkachuk feeds Ekman-Larsson from below the goal line and he fires it top shelf. 4-3.

20:00: The third period begins NOW!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: AFTER TWO PERIODS | Edmonton 4, Florida 2. The Oilers restore their three-goal lead twice, but the Panthers are not going down without a fight with the Cup in the building. Just 20 more miles to go to get us back to Edmonton.

5:34: An interference penalty to Hyman at the blueline on the zone entry evens things up.

6:25: Back to the power play Edmonton goes after McDavid is slashed in the hands on a two-on-one trying to get it across to Hyman. The Oilers are 2-for-3 tonight.

7:51: Florida gets it right back. The goalmouth scramble is finished off by Rodrigues just 14 seconds after Edmonton made it a three-goal game again. 4-2.

8:06: WHAT IS THAT, CONNOR?! HE MAKES THE INCREDIBLE MOVE AND DISHES IT TO PERRY TO FINISH THE POWER PLAY! The captain undresses the D-man and then goes across to find the streaking Perry at the back post. 4-1.

10:17: Mattias Ekholm charges towards goal and draws a hook from Kyle Okposo, sending the Oilers back to the man advantage.

13:07: Panthers pounce on a giveaway. Holloway can't clear the blueline before it's passed by Evan Rodrigues past Philip Broberg to Matthew Tkachuk for him to beat Skinner over the glove. 3-1.

15:00: McDAVID FINDS A WAY FROM A TIGHT ANGLE! Bobrovsky loses his angle along the goal line and the captain puts it off his far skate and through his five-hole to make it 3-0 Oilers! It all started with a terrific over-the-top pass from Bouchard to Foegele for him to chase, and it leads to him offloading it to McDavid for Edmonton's eventual third goal.

18:02: HYMAN TIPS HOME THE BOUCH BOMB RIGHT AS THE POWER PLAY EXPIRES! The defenceman tees one up and Hyman gets his twig to it to beat Bobrovsky to the blocker side for his first of the series and Edmonton's second PPG – the first of which at five-on-four. It's a multi-goal lead early in the middle frame for the Oilers! 2-0.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: AFTER 20 | The Oilers take the lead on Brown's big SHG five-and-a-half minutes into the frame after Skinner made a pair of clutch saves in the early going. At the end of the period, Niko Mikkola got too aggressive with Zach Hyman as he came towards the Panthers' crease and is fairly given an interference penalty.

9:53: The PP is short-lived after Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is called for hooking after losing the puck along the half boards.

10:56: A careless crosscheck from Barkov below the goal line against Evan Bouchard sends the Oilers to their first power play!

14:30: CONNOR BROWN INCREDIBLE EFFORT! ANOTHER SHORTIE FOR THE PENALTY KILL! No. 28 gets a piece of the D-to-D pass and pushes it ahead of Barkov for a breakaway and he slides it around the outstretched Bobrovsky for the 1-0 lead! That's Edmonton's second SHG of the series and third of the 2024 playoffs.

15:13: Brett Kulak gets his stick up high on Kevin Stenlund for the game's first penalty. The Panthers are pressing early.

18:26: WHAT A SAVE BY SKINNER! The chance opens up for Aaron Ekblad in the right circle and he commits robbery on the Panthers' blueliner. That's two terrific stops for the goalie after he ate up Reinhart's first-minute chance from the other circle.

20:00: GAME ON IN SUNRISE! The story of the Oilers' comeback continues tonight in Game 5. It's a battle of the third lines to begin this elimination scenario once again for the Oilers with the Stanley Cup in the building.

20:00: The teams are out of the dressing rooms as we count down the minutes to the start of Game 5.

20:00: Warmups are underway at Amerant Bank Arena. The Oilers will be going with the same lineup and defence pairings tonight that got them the 8-1 win in Game 4 based on line rushes. Stuart Skinner is of course in the starter's net, along with Sergei Bobrovsky for Florida. Ryan Lomberg comes in for Steven Lorentz as the only lineup change for Florida.

20:00: The first period of Game 5 on Tuesday night will begin at 8:20 pm MT.
