McDavid had two goals and two assists as the Oilers prevailed, 5-3, to deny Florida again.
Connor McDavid hit the empty net to seal a dominant performance and the Oilers' Game 5 win. SUNRISE, Fla. — Connor McDavid’s words after his Edmonton Oilers routed the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals became a rallying cry.The Oilers did just that with a 5-3 win in Game 5 on Tuesday night at Amerant Bank Arena. It wasn’t dominant like, but they did more than enough — led by McDavid’s two goals and two assists — to stay alive.
The Oilers led 3-0 and 4-1 in the second period but had to fend off a comeback attempt by the Panthers, who pulled within a goal early in the third. Stuart Skinner made 29 saves for the Oilers. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 19 shots for Florida. After Brown’s tally, the Panthers recorded just one more shot on goal in the remaining 14:30 of the period. And Niko Mikkola was whistled for interference at the horn, giving the Oilers a power play to begin the second period.
Matthew Tkachuk got Florida on the board 1:53 later with a quick-release finish over Skinner after Evan Rodrigues stole the puck along the boards and fed it to Tkachuk with a head of steam low in the zone.But a hooking penalty on Kyle Okposo at 10:02 put Edmonton’s newly confident power play back to work, and McDavid did what he does best off the rush, turning the Panthers inside-out as he drove the net and dished to Corey Perry for a tap-in at 11:54.
