EDMONTON – The Florida Panthers will look to gain a leg up in the Stanley Cup Final when they visit the Edmonton Oilers for Game 5 at Rogers Place on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET. Tied 2-2 through the first four games of the cinematic series, teams that go up 3-2 have gone on to win a series 79.5% of the time in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The performance of Pickard throughout the playoffs has given them a clear advantage over the Panthers. Here’s why – he makes big saves in big moments. Looking at just save percentage, Pickard has been elite in the playoffs. He has the second-best save percentage in the third period (.915) and the best when his team is trailing (.921).

"Horn is talented but has struggled with injuries in the NFL. Despite being the league's second-highest-paid cornerback, Horn ranks only 23rd in PFF advanced coverage grades over the past three seasons and 23rd in standard PFF coverage grade (79.6) across the past two."

Toa Taua was twice cut by the Michigan Panthers. He is cherishing his UFL stardom after spending time working at a golf course and a Planet Fitness.

Game 5 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final arrives with the series tied 2-2, and history tells us just how crucial this night could be. The Edmonton Oilers return home to Rogers Place after splitting two games in Florida, reclaiming momentum and setting the stage for what could be the most defining game of the series.

In this year’s Stanley Cup final, goaltending has been a major storyline for the Edmonton Oilers. Regular starter Stuart Skinner has been displaced by backup Calvin Pickard, and Oilers fans don’t have consensus on who should be starting Game 5 for the team.
