The Stanley Cup playoffs continue in the United States, with Edmonton and Florida battling it out in the finals. The Panthers confidently took the first three matches of the final series, but the Canadians began to mount a comeback.

Today, the sixth match of the final series took place, with Florida leading the series 3-2. The Americans needed just one more win to secure the tournament, but Edmonton triumphed again.

The match took place in Canada, and in the first two periods, the visitors failed to score a single goal, while the Oilers managed to net three. The Panthers scored their first goal early in the final period, but it wasn't enough, as two more goals from the Canadians set the final score.
