The Florida Panthers move within a victory of their second straight Stanley Cup title, beating Edmonton 5-2 in Game 5.

The Florida Panthers are one win away from their second straight Stanley Cup after beating the Edmonton Oilers, 5-2, in Game 5. Brad Marchand and the Panthers took control of the game early, and they never gave the Oilers any life.

The Panthers, meanwhile, took their usual lead. Brad Marchand juked Mattias Ekholm off a centre-ice faceoff and walked down main street to score on a breakaway at 9:12 and Sam Bennett made it 2-0 at 18:06. Florida looked faster, hungrier and better.
