Event Preview
The Florida Panthers stand on the cusp of NHL history this week, as they are within a victory of securing a second straight Stanley Cup. Florida will also have home advantage for the crucial game six on Tuesday evening, which will present them with the golden opportunity to inflict more misery on the Oilers at this stage of the campaign.
The addition of Brad Marchand was an inspired one for the Panthers, as he has been the star in multiple games throughout the playoff run. Once again, he was the difference-maker in game five on Saturday evening, scoring twice to put the Panthers on the brink.

Sam Bennett also continued his excellent form in the post-season, netting once to take his tally to a playoff-leading 15. A key to the Panthers success this post-season has been theri performances on the road, going 10-3. That is now the record of most road wins in a single playoff campaign.
However, there may have been nerves around the Florida camp earlier in the night in Edmonton, as they raced into a two-goal lead. But, the Panthers would make no mistake this time around, keeping the Oilers at arms-length, which was something that they failed to do in game four.
A date with destiny now arrives for the Panthers on Tuesday, as victory in front of their home fans will see them pick up the Stanley Cup for the second straight year.
