In a stunning turn of events, the Edmonton Oilers have pushed the Florida Panthers to a decisive Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final. It has been a remarkable journey for the Oilers, who were once down 3-0 in the series. Now, they have a chance to complete a historic comeback and etch their names in NHL history.

The Oilers have become just the 10th team in NHL history to force a Game 7 after facing a 3-0 series deficit. This achievement has not been seen in a decade, adding to the excitement surrounding this matchup. However, statistics remind us that the trailing team does not always emerge victorious in the final game of the series.

Looking back at the nine instances where a team has forced Game 7 after being down 3-0, only four times has the trailing team gone on to win the series. The last time it happened in the Stanley Cup Final was back in 1944-45, when the Toronto Maple Leafs accomplished the feat and secured their fourth Stanley Cup.

The Oilers must be aware of the challenges they face as they enter this crucial game. The Florida Panthers are determined to avoid history repeating itself and are eager to secure their first win in the series after three failed attempts. In the previous game, the Panthers suffered a 5-1 defeat at Rogers Place, which set the stage for this thrilling Game 7 showdown.

Both teams have displayed resilience and determination throughout the series. The Oilers' journey began with the Sharks dominating the first two games, scoring a total of 13 goals. However, the Kings fought back with three solid performances, ultimately defeating the Sharks in Game 7 and eventually winning the Stanley Cup.

The series between the Panthers and the Oilers has also seen tightly contested matches, with six of the seven games being decided by a single goal. The Oilers, backed by their home crowd, managed to win three games in a row and force the do-or-die Game 7. Now, they have the opportunity to make history once again.

As the puck drops for Game 7, all eyes will be on the Edmonton Oilers as they aim to complete their historic comeback. Will they join the ranks of the Maple Leafs as one of the few teams to win a series after trailing 3-0, or will the Panthers prevail and secure their first Stanley Cup? The stage is set for an unforgettable clash that will be remembered for years to come.
