Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was a night to forget for Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman and one that could define Brad Marchand’s legacy with the Florida Panthers. For one, Florida’s 5–2 win in Edmonton put them one victory away from back-to-back titles. Regarding Marchand, he scored twice, with both goals coming at Walman’s expense.

Trailing 3-2 in the Stanley Cup Final after their second dismal outing in three games, the Edmonton Oilers will have to summon every ounce of fight they have left, get up off the deck, and force a Game 7.

Mattias Ekholm's return, married to various injuries, maladies and struggles, has reset the Oilers' defensive depth chart.

Coach Kris Knoblauch is not sure whether Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard will start in goal for the Edmonton Oilers when they face elimination in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.

And how. Pickard has helped save Edmonton from back-breaking deficits in this NHL postseason not once, but twice. And Pickard could be on track to keep the Oilers alive again as they face elimination in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday ( 8 p.m. ET, TNT/Max ).

This in from ESPN’s Ray Ferraro, perhaps the sharpest commentator in hockey, his assessment of the failure of the Edmonton Oilers to cleanly move the puck out of their own end in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

The Edmonton Oilers have fallen behind in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final as they head toward Game 6 down 3-2 to the Florida Panthers. They will have some tough decisions to make heading into their next game as they try to save their season and avoid losing to the Panthers for a second straight campaign.
