Breaking down the odds and best bets for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.
Just like it in the Cup Final a year ago, Edmonton trails Florida 3-2 in the best-of-7 series, although the manner of getting to Game 6 and the venue has changed. Last season, the Oilers lost the first three games, then won the next three to force a Game 7, a 2-1 loss in Florida.

There is plenty of time for something to happen before this metaphorical sun goes down.

And how. Pickard has helped save Edmonton from back-breaking deficits in this NHL postseason not once, but twice. And Pickard could be on track to keep the Oilers alive again as they face elimination in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday ( 8 p.m. ET, TNT/Max ).
