The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, taking a 3-2 series lead. Brad Marchand scored twice, while Sam Bennett netted his playoff-leading 15th goal. The Panthers' strong defense and goaltending, along with their offensive depth, proved crucial. Connor McDavid scored his first goal of the series for the Oilers, but it wasn't enough to overcome Florida's lead. The Panthers can clinch the Stanley Cup on Tuesday if they win Game 6 at home.
