Athletistic / Hockey. The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Florida Panthers 5-3 last night in Game 5 of the NHL Playoff Finals. The main character of the meeting was the captain of the Canadian team, Connor McDavid.
McDavid this time scored two goals and two assists. For the second time in his career, the 27-year-old Canadian collected three assists in a single period of a Stanley Cup final game. Interestingly, he did it in one final and in two consecutive games, which has never been achieved by anyone in the history of the NHL.
In addition to McDavid, Bernie Joffrion and Stan Mikita had two three-point periods in the season-clinching series.
The score in the series became 3-2 in favor of Florida. Game 6 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals will take place on the night of June 22 in Edmonton, Canada.
