The Florida Panthers stand on the brink of capturing the Stanley Cup as they host the Edmonton Oilers in a pivotal Game 6 at Amerant Bank Arena, leading the series 3-2 after a commanding 5-2 victory in Edmonton.

The Oilers, despite their offensive firepower led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, face an uphill battle against a Panthers team that has dominated recent head-to-head matchups, winning 6 of their last 10 meetings.

Florida Panthers vs. Edmonton Oilers preview
The Panthers are one win away from hoisting the Stanley Cup as they host the Oilers in a potentially decisive Game 6 at Amerant Bank Arena, carrying momentum from their convincing 5-2 victory in Edmonton on Saturday night.
Florida has been lethal on home ice with 27 wins this season and will look to Brad Marchand, who netted twice in Game 5, alongside Sam Bennett, whose nine goals in the last ten games have provided crucial offensive firepower.
For Edmonton, the pressure falls squarely on superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to elevate their game and force a Game 7, though they'll need to crack Sergei Bobrovsky, who boasts an impressive .921 save percentage over his last ten appearances.
The goaltending battle could prove decisive with Florida's Bobrovsky (.907 save percentage this season) outperforming Edmonton's Stuart Skinner (.894) throughout this series.
While the Oilers have averaged 3.8 goals over their last ten games, they face a Panthers squad that has tightened defensively, allowing just 2.6 goals per game during that same stretch.
With six wins in their last ten meetings against Edmonton, the Panthers appear poised to close out the series on home ice, but the desperate Oilers—with their season on the line—shouldn't be counted out just yet.
