The Panthers won Games 1-3 by a combined 11-4 score, had a 3-0 lead, three chances until now to win the Stanley Cup for the first time in their history.

The Oilers spoiled it each time, winning Games 4-6 by a combined 18-5, including 5-1 in Game 6 at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Friday, the reason why this series is still going, why it shifted back to South Florida, why we're still talking about history.

"You have to stay even keeled," McDavid said. "You can't ride the wave or the rollercoaster. We really haven't done anything yet. We've won three big games to get ourselves back in the series and it comes down to one game here and we'll be ready. It's a great opportunity."

The Oilers got here with dominant performances individually and as a group.

Stuart Skinner has a 1.67 goals-against average and .942 save percentage in the past three games after posting a 3.13 GAA and .868 save percentage in the first three games.

McDavid became the first player in NHL history with consecutive four-point games in the Stanley Cup Final in Games 4 and 5. He has 11 points in the Final, two shy of the NHL record (Wayne Gretzky had 13 in 1988, five games).

The Oilers have scored two short-handed goals and killed all 10 of Florida's power plays in the past three games. The Panthers are 1-for-19 on the power play in the series.

Edmonton has had 11 goal-scorers and 16 skaters with at least one point in the past three games.

"Every game we go into, we know we have the best player in the world on our side," Draisaitl said speaking about McDavid, "but this league is really, really hard to just go through one player or two or three players. You need a whole team, and I think we've shown that."
