The Edmonton Oilers cruised to an early three-goal lead that the Panthers couldn't erase in a 5-3 loss in Game 5 on Tuesday at Amerant Bank Arena. Florida still leads the best-of-7 series but now has to make the cross-continent flight back to Edmonton for Game 6, which is scheduled for 8 p.m. Friday at Rogers Place.
We're going to try to drag them back to Alberta. We love playing on home ice, this is going to be a difficult game and that being said, we feel confident in the type of game it's going to be, with that anticipation of getting back to Alberta." - Oilers forward Connor Brown
The Oilers pushed their lead to 3-0 five minutes into the second period on a Zach Hyman power-play goal and Connor McDavid wide-angle shot at full strength.
