Oilers Rally In OT To Even NHL Finals Before Crucial Game 5

Oilers Shake Off Slow Start to Even NHL Finals

Trailing 3–0 after the first period, the Edmonton Oilers erupted in Game 4 of the NHL Finals, rebounding with a 5–4 overtime victory against the Florida Panthers to even the series 2–2. Leon Draisaitl delivered the heroics, scoring at 11:18 in OT — his fourth postseason overtime goal, setting a new single-season record. Goaltender Calvin Pickard again had to come in for Stuart Skinner after a sub par first period by the starter. The Oilers showed the usual resilience and offensive depth, with Leon Draisaitl leading with 3 points while 4 other Edmonton players putting up 2 points a piece; Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Vasily Podkolzin, Darnell Nurse, and Mattias Ekholm all being credited. Now, the series heads to back to Edmonton for Game 5 this Saturday, setting up a crucial swing game.

Game 5 Preview: Panthers Look to Regain Momentum

With the series tied, Game 5 on Saturday in Edmonton shapes up as a pivotal showdown. Florida will aim to reclaim its dominant form from Games 2 & 3 after the letdown, leaning on its elite defense and Sergei Bobrovsky's steady goaltending. Meanwhile, Edmonton, energized by their Game 4 resilience, will rely on their depth and a possible starting goalie chance duo to tip the scales. Expect a high-stakes clash where home-ice advantage could prove decisive—don’t miss it!
