The Oilers demonstrated in Game 4 and especially in last year's Cup final that they can play under immense pressure and win tough contests. While Edmonton ended up losing Game 7 last year, coming back from 3-0 down in the series to tie it is evidence that this team can win the next two games.
The Panthers also lost Game 6 to the Leafs in the second round before winning Game 7, so Edmonton forcing Game 7 again (and winning it) seems possible but difficult. Tuesday night feels like a must-win game for the Panthers, and they are built to live up to that task.
