Oilers in Panthers Stanley Cup Final 5 odds, expert picks: Oilers attempt a series comeback

The Florida Panthers have another chance to win their first Stanley Cup ever with Game 5 at their home rink on Tuesday night. If the Panthers finish the job, the Cup will remain in Florida for the third time in five seasons (Tampa Bay won in 2020 and 2021).

Meanwhile, Oilers fans are staying confident as they seek to come back from a 3-0 series deficit. You may have seen it by now, but the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team to ever pull off a reverse sweep in the Stanley Cup Final. The Oilers won 16 straight games earlier this season, so they know how to put their line together. Of course, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are completely different.
