The Florida Panthers remain one win away from winning their first-ever Stanley Cup championship after failing to close out the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.

Catch up fast: The Oilers, down 3–0 in the Stanley Cup Final, avoided elimination by blowing out the Panthers 8–1 in Game 4.

Panthers star goalie Sergei Bobrovsky allowed five goals before he was removed from the game.

Stunning stat: Bobrovsky had stopped 95% of Edmonton's shots in the first three games, per the Associated Press.

In Game 4, he allowed more goals in 25 minutes than in the previous three games.

What they're saying: "We gave up eight goals, and zero of them were the goalie's fault," Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk said, per ESPN.

"Obviously, we need to bounce back. We need to recover now and think about the next one," team captain Aleksander Barkov said.

🤞 What's next: The Cats can win the Stanley Cup tomorrow in front of their home crowd at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise. Tickets start at $794.
