Florida really came out strong, taking a solid 3-0 lead by the end of the first period. Matthew Tkachuk scored two power-play goals, with some help from captain Aleksander Barkov, and then Anton Lundell chipped in a third goal with just 41.7 seconds left. That really capped off a strong first fifteen minutes and put a lot of pressure on the Oilers. But you know what? Connor McDavid’s Edmonton really came alive in the second period.

Thanks to a power-play goal from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, with assists from Draisaitl and McDavid, and even-strength goals from Darnell Nurse and Vasily Podkolzin, the Oilers came back from a three-goal deficit to tie the game 3-3 by the end of the second period. So, in the third period, Jake Walman put Edmonton ahead with a 4-3 lead.

With only 20 seconds left on the clock, Florida’s Sam Reinhart came through with a clutch equalizer, pushing the game into overtime. It was a thrilling late twist that really captured the nail-biting tension we’ve seen in earlier games of the series. Overtime went on until 11:18, when Leon Draisaitl took a backhand shot against Bobrovsky, sealing a 5-4 win. He scored his fourth overtime goal of the playoffs, tying the series at 2-2.
