Warren Foegele, Adam Henrique and Zach Hyman score as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Panthers 5-1 in Game 6, their third consecutive win in the series.
Leon Draisaitl made his first major impact in the Stanley Cup Finals, and the series is heading back to South Florida. Draisaitl set up Warren Foegele’s early goal, Adam Henrique and Zach Hyman scored in the second period and the Edmonton Oilers forced a Game 7 by beating the Florida Panthers 5-1 in Game 6 on Friday night. They are the first team to tie the series after falling behind three games to none since the Detroit Red Wings in 1945.
The goalie everyone calls “Bob” was hardly to blame, though, with mistakes in front of him also contributing to the 2-on-1 rush that ended with Henrique beating Bobrovsky off a perfect pass from Mattias Janmark. The Panthers in front of their goaltender looked tight and timid and unlike the juggernaut that reached the final for a second consecutive year and won the first three games to move to the verge of the first title in franchise history.
