Live Coverage of Game 7 on ESPN

In a stunning turn of events, the Edmonton Oilers have forced a decisive Game 7 in the 2024 Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers. After trailing 3-1 in the series, the Oilers pulled off a remarkable comeback with a 5-1 victory in Game 6 on Sunday night.

The Oilers' comeback was sparked by a brilliant performance from star center Connor McDavid, who scored two goals and added an assist. McDavid, who was criticized for his lackluster performance in Game 5, bounced back with a dominant display that showcased his exceptional skill and leadership.

Edmonton's supporting cast also stepped up in Game 6. Evan Bouchard scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, while Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman each added a goal and an assist. Mike Smith made 37 saves in net for the Oilers, keeping the Panthers' high-powered offense in check.

The Panthers, who had a chance to clinch the Stanley Cup on home ice, were visibly frustrated by Edmonton's comeback. Aleksander Barkov scored the Panthers' lone goal, but it wasn't enough to prevent them from dropping their third straight game in the series.

Game 7 is scheduled for Tuesday night in Edmonton. The Oilers will be looking to complete their improbable comeback and win their first Stanley Cup since 1990. The Panthers, meanwhile, will be desperate to avoid a historic collapse and secure their first championship.

The live coverage of Game 7 will be available on ESPN, with live score updates and highlights available on the web and mobile devices.
