Game 5s can serve one of two purposes: as a definitive edge one team gains from closing out a series 4-1 or as a reminder that one team is now a single win from reaching its desired destination. For the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, their 5-2 win Saturday in Game 5 over the Edmonton Oilers means they're a win away from winning back-to-back Cups.
Of course, it wouldn't be out of character for the Oilers to strike back to win Game 6, forcing a Game 7 back in Edmonton.
