Oilers Knot 2024 Stanley Cup Final

The 2024 Stanley Cup Final will come down to a seventh game.

The Edmonton Oilers, who dropped the first three games of the best-of-seven series, won their third straight contest against the Florida Panthers on Friday night, this time by a 5-1 count in Game 6. The series is now tied, three to three, with Edmonton having outscored Florida, 18-5, over the last three contests.

Warren Foegele (New Hampshire) opened the scoring last night, just over seven minutes into the first period, as Edmonton ultimately went ahead, 3-0, after 40 minutes before 18,347 at Rogers Place. Zach Hyman (Michigan) tallied his playoff-leading 16th goal late in the second stanza, his second goal in two games, before Foegele help set up one of two empty-net Edmonton goals in the final frame.

Game 7 is slated for Monday night in Sunrise, Fl., at 8 p.m. ET (ABC, CBC). Edmonton is seeking to become the first NHL team to rebound from a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final since 1942, and just the second club ever to do so.
