EDMONTON – The Florida Panthers will look to gain a leg up in the Stanley Cup Final when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Game 5 at Rogers Place on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. Tied 2-2 through the first four games of the cinematic series, teams that go up 3-2 have gone on to win a series 79.5% of the time in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Entering Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, with the series tied 2-2, Barkov has just two points in the Cup Final — both assists that came on the power play in Florida’s Game 4 overtime loss on Thursday. He has just 10 total shots on goal through the four games.

The Edmonton Oilers are hoping to carry the momentum from Calvin Pickard’s relief appearance into Game 5, as he is set to start a pivotal game against the Florida Panthers Saturday night.

The Oilers have spent a lot of time talking about the Panthers' style with two off days: "That's their brand. That's what they do."

Florida, however, forced overtime with just under 20 seconds left in regulation on a Sam Reinhart goal. At 11:18 of OT, Leon Draisaitl backhanded the puck past Sergei Bobrovsky to end Game 4 and tie the series 2–2, with the finals shifting back to Edmonton for Game 5.

Things got chippy in the Stanley Cup Final late in Game 3 when the Panthers were well on their way to blowing out the Oilers.
