Team Canada beat Florida for the second time and they still have a chance to win the Stanley Cup.
Florida failed to close out the series with Edmonton and capture the National Hockey League championship. We remind you that before today’s match, the Panthers were leading the series 3:1, and facing the opponent on their own court, they had every chance to win the Stanley Cup.
However, the “oil workers” are against such a scenario. In the fifth match of the series, the guests took the initiative first and after two periods won 4:2. In the last 20 minutes, the hosts tried their best to get revenge and almost did it.
Florida scored a goal and reduced the gap to the minimum, but captain Edmonton McDavid’s goal in the empty net of the Panthers finally buried all the hopes of the American team.
The Canadians reduced their gap in the series – 2:3, and the teams will play the next match at the site of the Oilers, on Saturday, June 22.
