On that first goal from the face-off at center, Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse was caught sleeping. Marchand jumped the face-off to get the puck and then he made a move to the outside and then came inside, but Nurse didn't move his feet until he was already over in the middle of the ice.

There were no blown leads this time as the Florida Panthers down the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 behind Brad Marchand and a defensive gem.

The Panthers will go back to Sunrise for Tuesday’s Game 6 with a chance to clinch a second consecutive Stanley Cup crown after Brad Marchand scores two more goals in Edmonton.

The Edmonton Oilers have their backs against the wall again. They'll need to win Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday night in Sunrise, Fla., to avoid watching the Florida Panthers celebrate a championship on their home ice for a second consecutive year.

The Florida Panthers have a 3-2 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final and can claim consecutive Cups with a win in Tuesday’s Game 6.

The Panthers, meanwhile, have no such issue. Bobrovsky is their guy. He has been ever since regaining the starting job midway through the first round of the 2023 playoffs, their first of three consecutive runs to the Stanley Cup Final. He is as steady as they come, and his performance has shown for it.
