Match Review of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final Between Panthers and Oilers

• The Edmonton Oilers tied the Stanley Cup series with the Florida Panthers after winning in overtime.
• Leon Draisaitl continues to impress, becoming one of the leading scorers of the playoffs with 11 goals.
• Game 5 will be decisive in the best-of-three series, with both teams having equal chances of winning.

This was reported by Associated Press, ESPN.

In the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, the Edmonton Oilers leveled the series against the Florida Panthers after an overtime victory in Game 4. This allowed the series to reach a stage where both teams have equal chances of winning, as the series is now tied 2-2.

The next game, Game 5, will take place on Saturday and will be crucial for both teams, as it is now a best-of-three series. Leon Draisaitl, who scored the winning goal in Game 4, continues to show impressive form, becoming one of the team's leaders.

Draisaitl is in contention for the Conn Smythe Trophy, regarded as one of the most valuable players of the playoffs. In Game 4, he scored his 11th goal of the playoffs this season, making him one of the leading scorers.

Currently, both teams have equal chances of winning, as bookmakers assess their odds on the same level. The Panthers have won 10 out of 11 series they have participated in over the last three years, including the previous Stanley Cup Final, where they defeated the Oilers in seven games.

The coaches of both teams, Paul Maurice (Panthers) and Chris Knoblauch (Oilers), do not believe there is a significant difference between the games and are trying to focus on each game individually. They believe that the team that recovers faster after a loss will gain a greater advantage.

In the Stanley Cup Final, 32 goals have already been scored in the first four games, which is the fourth-highest total in NHL history for this period. Game 5 promises to be even more intense and exciting, as both teams have strong players ready to fight for victory.
