The Oilers and Panthers played out a classic on Wednesday night. The Oilers opened the scoring after one minute and six seconds but were then pegged back by two first period Florida goals. The Panthers then scored again to take a 3-1 lead, before the Oilers came storming back to tie the game at 3-3 and send it to OT.
From there, the teams played out a stalemate until the final minute of the first OT, where the Oilers capitalized on a power play and scored the winning goal.
