Warren Foegele and Oilers' head to Florida for Game seven
Edmonton have made history and they are one win away from creating another. Captain Connor McDavid did not get a chance to score in the Game 6 win over Panthers but that is not diminishing his chances of lifting the Stanley Cup.
If Edmonton wins the final game they will be the second NHL team to do so after being down 3-0. Previously in 1942, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Detroit Red Wings to lift the Stanley Cup after losing the first three games.
Five players contributed a goal each to give Edmonton their lead in today's dominant win. After facing criticism for his previous outings, Draisaitl also got to score an assist to silence his critics.
“At the end of the day, we play to win and this is going to be the hardest game for us. We have to bring our game again.” Draisaitl said
“We’re just excited to keep our season going. That’s what it’s been about. One game at a time, one day at a time. Looking forward to the next one.” McDavid said.
Edmonton will head to Florida for Game 7 with their sights set on making history by lifting the Stanley Cup.
