The Panthers take lessons learned from not immediately closing out Oilers last year into Game 6 with chance to win it at home.

Marchand, who also scored five goals in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final with the Boston Bruins, joined Mario Lemieux (five goals in 1991 and 1992 with the Pittsburgh Penguins) as the only players to score at least five goals in a Cup Final in the NHL expansion era (since 1967-68).

The Florida Panthers moved to the verge of a second consecutive Stanley Cup title by beating the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 in Game 5 on Saturday night.
