The Edmonton Oilers are the first NHL team in 79 years to tie the Stanley Cup final after being down 3-0 in the series, while the Florida Panthers blow the commanding lead.

The Edmonton Oilers are dragging the Florida Panthers back to Sunrise for Game 7.

Adam Henrique scored the eventual game-winner, and Stuart Skinner needed just 20 saves as the Oilers cruised to a 5-1 win over the Panthers to force a deciding contest for the Stanley Cup.

Game 7 is Monday, June 24, at 8 p.m. ET in Sunrise.

Connor McDavid, who entered the night with back-to-back four-point efforts, was held off the scoresheet. But 11 different Oilers recorded points in the win.

"There's a strong belief in our locker room," Zach Hyman told ESPN following the contest. "The fans, everybody believes in us. It's special to play here, to play in this game in front of our crowd and force a Game 7."

Warren Foegele got Edmonton on the board 7:27 into the first period. Brett Kulak broke up a Panthers zone entry and quickly moved the puck up ice to Leon Draisaitl. The forward carried the puck into the zone and found Foegele breaking toward the left circle, where he one-timed it past a diving Sergei Bobrovsky.

Adam Henrique doubled Edmonton's lead by finishing a pass from Mattias Jannmark 46 seconds into the second period. The trade deadline pickup fired from the right side of the crease, beating Bobrovsky far-side.

Florida appeared to halve the deficit 10 seconds later when Barkov scored on his own rebound from the left edge of the crease. But the goal was waved off when video review showed Sam Reinhart offside as Carter Verhaeghe carried into the zone on the rush.

Zach Hyman made it 3-0 by scoring on a breakaway with 1:40 remaining in the second period.

Ryan McLeod and Darnell Nurse added empty-net goals in the final 3:15.

Barkov would get another puck past Skinner – with this goal counting – 88 seconds into the third period to make it 3-1. The Panthers captain collected a pass from Verhaeghe in the right circle then weaved through traffic with a final deke to slide the puck around Skinner's right pad.

The Oilers dominated from puck drop, limiting the Panthers' offense to just two shots in the opening period. One of those came from Florida's own end. Panthers forwards failed to register a shot on net through the first half of the contest.

Edmonton became just the third team to overcome a 3-0 deficit in Stanley Cup final history. The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs are the only team to complete a reverse sweep, winning four straight to capture the Cup against the Detroit Red Wings. Three years later, Detroit again held a 3-0 lead against Toronto but avoided the same fate with a Game 7 win.

"There's an unshakeable belief,” Hyman said. “We've talked about it a bunch. No matter what happened during the year, we believed we could pull through. No matter how dire the circumstances, we think we have a chance. It was a long season facing adversity to prepare us. We battled back, but the next one is going to be the hardest."

Florida may hold home-ice advantage heading into Monday’s contest but has lost all momentum after squandering a 3-0 series lead. Since the third period of Game 3, when the Oilers rallied from a 4-1 deficit in an eventual 4-3 loss, the Panthers have been outscored 20-5. Florida's special teams have failed in that stretch as well, going without a power-play goal while allowing two shorthanded tallies and three on the man advantage.

Edmonton is vying for its sixth Stanley Cup and first since 1990. A Florida victory would mark the franchise's first championship.

The Oilers are 8-4 all-time in Game 7s. The Panthers are 2-1.
