BetMGM Bonus Code CBSSPORTS: $1,500 for NHL Stanley Cup Final Game 5 Oilers-Panthers

The Edmonton Oilers just evened up one of the most thrilling Stanley Cup Finals in recent memory, forcing a Game 5 showdown that’s got hockey fans on the edge of their seats.

The series is tied 2-2 after Edmonton’s heart-stopping overtime win in Game 4. Now they’re heading back home for a crucial Saturday night matchup against the defending champion Florida Panthers.

It’s a chance for the Oilers to do something special – they haven’t lifted the Cup since 1990. Even bigger? No Canadian team has won it all since Montreal did it back in ’93.

This series has been absolutely wild. Three of the four games needed overtime to decide a winner. The only exception was Florida’s 6-1 blowout in Game 3.

The Panthers actually looked ready to run away with things early in Game 4, jumping out to a 3-0 lead. But Edmonton wasn’t done yet.

The Oilers stormed back to tie it at 3-3 by the end of the second period. After trading goals in the third, Leon Draisaitl played hero in overtime – his second OT winner of the series.

Draisaitl’s been on fire this postseason, leading the team with 11 goals. While Connor McDavid gets most of the headlines, it’s Draisaitl who’s looking like the favorite for playoff MVP.

The odds for Game 5 are about as close as you can get. Edmonton’s a tiny favorite at -118, with Florida right there at -102.

For the Panthers to repeat as champs, they’ll need to steal at least one more game in Edmonton. That might not be as tough as it sounds – they’re 9-3 on the road these playoffs and already grabbed a win there earlier in the series.

The puck drops at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
