The Stanley Cup finals head back to Florida with the Panthers holding a 3-2 series lead over the Oilers. They beat the Oilers in Game 7 at home last season, can they use the home advantage of  Amerant Bank Arena to lift the cup? Read on for our prediction. 

Goals continued to be the story of the series in Edmonton in Game 5, the Panthers coming away from Canada with a 5-2 win. It continued the trend of every game in the series having at least seven goals.

Edmonton gave Calvin Pickard the start, but he was unable to fare any better than Stuart Skinner, and that has to remain a massive concern for Oilers fans. While Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are having a strong series offensively, the team are simply not good enough on the blue line.

The pressure is on to take this back to Edmonton for a Game 7 and they will take hope from their come-from-behind win in Game 4 where they overcame a 0-3 deficit after the first period. They will need another strong scoring effort, however, as they will find the Panthers hard to stop.
