2024 NHL Stanley Cup Final bracket, scores, schedule: Oilers rout Panthers, 8-1, to force Game 5 in Florida

There will be a Game 5 in the Stanley Cup Final. The Edmonton Oilers finally got on the board by defeating the Florida Panthers 8-1 in Game 4.

Facing elimination at home, the Oilers came out firing in Game 4. Their offense was held in check by the Panthers for most of the series, but broke out in a big way on Saturday night. Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists, which helped him break Wayne Gretzky’s record for most assists in a single postseason with 32.

Leon Draisaitl added two assists, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored his first goal of the series and Zach Hyman finally hit the stat sheet with two helpers of his own. It was a party at Rogers Place, and everyone in blue and orange was invited.

This was actually the first time in the Stanley Cup Final that Sergei Bobrovsky looked human, and that might be an understatement. He was removed from the game after allowing five goals on just 16 shots. Anthony Stolarz replaced him and stopped just 16 of the 19 he faced.

The Panthers’ defense was strangely porous in Game 4, and they’ll have to tighten the screws on Tuesday night when the series returns to Sunrise for Game 5. If they allow the Edmonton offense to get like that again, this series can go on for a long time.
