Wow. This is not a dream. Foegele records a goal and assist as the First Star, but this team deserves all its plaudits together as the team that's come from 3-0 down to leave themselves one win away from the reverse sweep of the Panthers.
We will see you Monday, where the Blue & Orange look to make history and win their sixth Stanley Cup. As Stuart Skinner said: "You can never count the Oil out."

19:14: IT'S THE THIRD LINE AGAIN! 46 SECONDS INTO THE PERIOD! The Panthers get caught on a change and leave Mattias Janmark alone near the Florida blueline, and the Swede sauces it over on a two-on-one to the oncoming Adam Henrique, who fires it off the far post and inside the other to make it 2-0 Oilers!
