Florida Panthers aim to bounce back and clinch Stanley Cup in Game 5

The Florida Panthers, one win away from their first Stanley Cup championship, will lean on their postseason experience in Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers at Florida on Tuesday.

Coach Paul Maurice emphasized the importance of refocusing after their defeat.

“You come to the rink to clinch, right? That’s first and foremost. And then you get a little bit of a reality check and then you get back to hockey,” Maurice said on NHL.com.

The Florida Panthers have a history of rebounding after missed opportunities to close out the series. They previously lost Game 4 after winning the first three games against both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning in past playoffs, only to win the next game and advance.

Captain Aleksander Barkov and alternates Matthew Tkachuk, Aaron Ekblad, and Sam Reinhart will be pivotal in maintaining team composure.

“You rely on those veterans not to ignore the emotions or pretend like they're not there, but just keep it in a fairly narrow band so we're not swinging too high or too low,” Maurice added.

Maurice remains confident in his team’s ability to comeback, stating:

“Keep the emotional bandwidth narrow.”

The Florida Panthers will focus on correcting their mistakes and containing Edmonton’s rush play, aiming to secure their historic win at home.
