EDMONTON — Another must-win game awaits the Edmonton Oilers Friday night.
Edmonton is set to host Game 6 against the Florida Panthers looking to stave off elimination once more in the Stanley Cup final.
The Oilers have won two straight to cut the Panthers' series lead to 3-2.
Game 7, if necessary, would be Monday in South Florida.
Edmonton is hoping to become the fifth NHL team to ever come back from an 0-3 deficit to win a series.
The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team in league history to win a Stanley Cup coming back from such a deficit in the final series.
