But the legacy of the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs remains intact -- they're still the only team to rally from a 3-0 deficit in the Final to win the Cup, after the Oilers came up short. The Panthers opened the scoring moments after an early power play ended, following a high-sticking call on Edmonton's Warren Foegele. Florida winger Evan Rodrigues flung the puck towards the Edmonton net where he found Carter Verhaeghe alone in front, tipping it home for his 11th goal of the playoffs at 4:27 to send the home crowd into a frenzy.
The Panthers took the lead in the second period in a "hockey is a game of inches" sequence. Foegele shot the puck with a crowd in front of Bobrovsky. The puck deflected over the goaltender's arm and fell to the ice next to him, where defenseman Dmitry Kulikov cleared it to the corner while falling down.
