Florida leads best-of-seven series 3-1, hosts Game 5 Tuesday
Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists as Edmonton thumped visiting Florida 8-1 on Saturday to cut the Panthers’ lead in the best-of-seven title series to 3-1.
Edmonton, meanwhile, is looking to become just the fifth team in NHL history — and the second in the final, joining the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs — to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. Connor Brown appeared to run out of room on a 2-on-1, but slid the puck in front for Janmark to chip it into the open net with Bobrovsky taken out by sliding Florida defenceman Brandon Montour.
Tarasenko got one back on a deflection at 11:26 with his fifth before Skinner robbed Carter Verhaeghe on a 2-on-1 with the Oilers on their heels. McDavid made it 4-1 at 1:13 of the second when he ripped his first of the series past Bobrovsky’s blocker as fans mocked the veteran netminder.Nurse stretched the lead to four when he blasted his first of the post-season at 4:59 off a McDavid setup, ending Bobrovsky’s night, after a bad Florida change.
