Corey Perry discusses emotions ahead of Game 7 of Stanley Cup Final

Oilers winger Corey Perry noted staying focused amidst Game 7's excitement and nerves.

"Emotions," Perry said. "Just doing the little things, and the bigger things happen. You could say that and all the clichés you want, but in those games, everything's magnified so much more than 4, 5, 6, whatever it is."

"Nerves are exciting. It's a good thing to have nerves because it means you put yourself in that position. It's exciting. You don't take anything for granted in this game," Perry added.

Stuart Skinner's 10-0 record in Games 4 to 7 embodies the Oilers' turnaround. Warren Foegele's consistent performance which includes a career-best playoff point streak, shows Edmonton's depth beyond star players like Connor McDavid.

Game 7 will air live Monday night on ABC at 8 PM ET.
