The Edmonton Oilers may have saved themselves in the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers. The team trailed Florida 3-0 after the first period, and were staring a 3-1 series deficit in the face.

Leaving Amerant Bank Arena after Game 4, I passed by Corey Perry as he was talking to someone on his phone. He seemed to be in great spirits, and why wouldn't he be? His Edmonton Oilers had just pulled off a remarkable overtime victory over the Florida Panthers.

In overtime, when Sam Bennett had a yawning goalmouth before him, Pickard got his glove on the puck and it ticked off the crossbar. Earlier Pickard stopped Anton Lundell on a breakaway that would have left Edmonton behind 4-1 in the second period.

We might never know exactly what Corey Perry told his Edmonton Oilers teammates in his first-intermission sermon Thursday night, but it struck a chord with every player in the room.

Our Oilers vs. Panthers props expect big games from Sam Reinhart, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Corey Perry. The stakes don’t get much higher than they will be Tuesday night in Florida.

The 40-year-old Corey Perry has already scored twice in this Stanley Cup Final. But the Edmonton Oilers forward’s most indelible moment of the playoff run might have come during a rousing intermission speech.
