Final score: Panthers 5 Oilers 2
Corey Perry scored his 10th goal of the playoffs with 3:13 left in the third period and the Oilers pulled goalie Calvin Pickard about a minute later, but the spark from Perry's goal wasn't enough.

Sam Reinhart makes the score 4-1 Panthers after taking a pass from Aleksander Barkov, shooting the puck past Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard with traffic in front of the goal 8:10 into the third period, less than a minuite after Connor McDavid scored for Edmonton.
8:21 p.m. - McDavid gets Oilers on scoreboard
3-1 Panthers. Connor McDavid takes a pass from defenceman Evan Bouchard and has all kinds of time to quickly stickhandle his way toward the Panthers net, shooting the puck past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky for the Oilers' first goal of the game 7:24 into the third period.
The goal comes just over two minutes after Brad Marchand scored his second of the game for the Panthers.
8:18 p.m. - Marchand scores 2nd of game
3-0 Panthers. Panthers forward Brad Marchand scores his second goal of the game 5:12 into the third period in much the same fashion as his first: while being tailed and checked closely by a clutch of Oilers. He deposits the puck past Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard's outstretched left pad to add to Florida's lead.

Record crowd in Quebec City watches Canada fall to France in men's Volleyball Nations League
Social Sharing The fans broke a record, but Canada came up just short in men's Volleyball National League action on Saturday at Centre Videotron in Quebec City. More than 12,030 spectators watched Canada fall to France 3-2 in the best-of-five match, including the tense 15-6 tiebreaker. The fan count is the largest audience the Canadian senior men's team has entertained on home soil, and is a VNL North American record. Brodie Hofer and Xander Wassenaar Ketrzynski led the scoring for Canada with 15 points apiece. France's captain Trevor Clevenot, part of the Paris 2024 gold-medal winning team, led all scorers with 24 points. WATCH | Canadian men fall short against France: Canadian men fall to France at Volleyball Nations League stop in Quebec City 14 hours ago Duration 2:36 "We let the game slip away from us, I think, we played well and maintained a pretty good level, but I don't think this is anywhere near our maximum capabilities," said Canada captain Fynn McCarthy. "We played a pretty good solid base level but that's not good enough against France. "[Trevor] Clevenot kind of ran away with it in the end and he's a really good player, so credit to him, but we should be doing a better job against his service pressure ... I'm proud of the guys. Lots of our guys have never played in front of crowd like that so it was amazing." France, which won the VNL title last year, led overall in attack points (72-67), blocks (8-4) and made a couple fewer errors. Canada led in aces 5-2. Canada's head coach Dan Lewis said: "I'm extremely proud of the guys, they never quit and they are growing with every game. We need a good start in the fifth and make better choices. But it's great that we're learning to execute at a higher level on a regular basis. I'm super proud."

Soccer tournament in GTA brings together players impacted by homelessness, mental health struggles
A Canadian soccer team that brings together people affected by homelessness, mental health struggles and substance abuse will be heading to the Homeless World Cup in August — an experience some players say they never thought would be within reach. The Canadian Street Soccer Association (CSSA), founded last year, is sending a team of eight players to Oslo, Norway, where they will compete alongside over 500 players from across the world. "We are not looking for the best players in soccer, we are not looking for the best strategists in soccer," said Hossam Khedr, the organization's CEO. "What we do is we use soccer as a simple tool to bring people together." The Homeless World Cup is an annual tournament that began in 2003, according to its website. It currently has members from 68 countries. On Saturday, the CSSA held a national tournament in Mississauga, hosting players from its programs in Toronto, Brampton, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver. "For some of these players just traveling from Montreal to come to Mississauga, to be a part of this national tournament, is going to be like their World Cup," said Ed Kiwanuka-Quinlan, CSSA's director of operations, speaking to CBC Radio's Metro Morning on Friday. The CSSA, which is a non-profit run by volunteers, recruits players through outreach on the streets and by partnering with the Canadian Mental Health Association, which refers them prospective players, he said. Kiwanuka-Quinlan called the tournament a celebration of recovery and inclusivity. "We encourage [players] not to think about all the other trauma, all the other problems that are happening in their lives, and just to come and kick a ball, have fun and get a sweat on," he said. Finding 'another family' through soccer Among the players at Saturday's tournament was Emma "Zero" Bellante, who will be heading to Oslo in August. She said she has struggled with mental health issues, addiction and being unhoused. "This program has really helped me a lot in terms of getting out of the house and not isolating myself," she said. Bellante played soccer throughout her childhood but said the sport gradually became less fun and felt like a chore. Playing through CSSA is "like a completely different game," she said. "There's lots of clapping, encouragement, people cheering each other on," she said. Bellante said she never thought she'd have the chance to play in an international soccer tournament. "It's an opportunity I would never have passed up, despite the fact that I am very nervous, but it's mixed with excitement," she said. Players chosen to go to the Homeless World Cup were selected in part if they are going through a "transitional moment," Khedr said, such as if they are recovering from addiction or mental health struggles. The journey to the World Cup will "take them to a different place, and this is when we prepare them for the next step to reenter our society when they come back," he said. May Nakintu also joined Saturday's tournament. After she moved from Uganda in January 2024, she saw a poster about the CSSA at the shelter where she was staying in Toronto. She said she immediately felt welcomed by the group. "I just felt at home. I felt like I had another family," she told Metro Morning. Nakintu recently became certified by Canada Soccer as a referee, under encouragement and guidance from Kiwanuka-Quinlan. Another player, Cesar Lobos, moved to Canada from Guatemala 41 years ago. After struggles with homelessness and substance abuse, he was initially drawn to the CSSA to get in shape. Participating in soccer games "provided me some energy, some encouragement to get out of the street," he said. "Now I'm no longer homeless, I have my own apartment, and life is beautiful." Lobos, who is heading to Oslo in August, called the trip a "Cinderella dream." It will be the first time he's traveled since he moved to Canada, he said. "It takes courage to get out of that circle of life. But then when you are on the right track, the right road… this is like a dream come true," he said.

Photos by Shaughn Butts-Postmedia Photo by Shaughn Butts / 10108326A1 After four high-flying games in the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers played their best smothering, dead puck game, throttling the Edmonton Oilers at most every turn in a 5-2 win.

As strong a defensive performance as the Oilers have faced all year and when they did get a chance, Sergei Bobrovsky was usually there. One big difference in the game? A few major errors by a player who rarely makes them, Mattias Ekholm. He made two mistakes on goals against at even strength in the first period after only make one such mistake on a goal against in his first five playoff games of 2025. In total the Oilers had nine Grade A shots to seven for the Panthers, with the subset of more dangerous 5-alarm shots six for Florida, just four for Edmonton. Connor McDavid, 6. He kept coming but Florida kept stopping him. Early 2-on-1 but unable to get off a shot on net. Knocked down a puck in the corner to send in Brown, almost scoring off his rebound. Solid stick-check late in the first to thwart a dangerous moment. Great hustle to keep puck in, then fired shot off post on second period power play. Magnificient deke shot to break Bobrovsky's shup-out. But a moment later he allowed the pass out on the fourth Panthers goal. Contributions/mistakes on Grade A Shots (GAS): Even Strength +3/-1; Special Teams +1/-0 Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, 7. Best Oilers forward. Hustling hard, just as he has throughout playoffs. Major clearance late in first on PK after Bouchard broke his stick. Put a deflected shot that Perry almost jammed home on Edmonton's early second period power play. He put one off the post with the Oilers goalie pulled. Screened the goalie on Edmonton's late goal. GAS: ES +2/-0; ST +1/-0. Connor Brown, 6. Another hustling player. Charged up ice early on for a break-in but fired it into Bob's glove, then made heads up pass to send in McD and RNH on a 2-on-1. GAS: ES +2/-0; ST +0/-0. Leon Draisaitl, 3. Is he, at last, out of gas? He wasn't close to good enough. After a lacklustre first period, he missed the net on a powerplay one-timer early in the second. He took an undisciplined slashing call late in the second, a full grade demerit at this point. He came alive finally when the Oilers pulled their goalie and was finally in on two Grade A shots, but too little, too late. GAS: ES +2/-1; ST +0/-0. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Vasily Podkolzin, 3. Usual hitting and hustle except on one key play. He failed to block the sneaky Marchand on a centre ice face-off and Marchand went in and scored. He led the team with seven hits. GAS: ES +0/-1; ST +0/-0. Corey Perry, 5. Almost put on his Socey Perry cape, nearly jammed home an early slot chance in the second, but Bob got his glove on it. He lost a faceoff battle to Marchand on the third Florida goal. Scored on an outside shot late in the game. Lost the puck and screened goalie on Florida's fourth. GAS: ES +2/2; ST +2/-0. Adam Henrique, 5. Solid again on defence. Tipped a Grade A on net. But just five wins on 17 face-offs. GAS: ES +1/-0; ST +0/-0. Trent Frederic, 3. Hmm. Failed to make an impact. Might be time to sit him, bring in Kapanen, GAS: ES +0/-0; ST +0/-0. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Jeff Skinner, 5. Another Oiler with a bit of life, at least. He whipped on outside shot on net in the second that Henrique tipped for a Grade A shot. GAS: ES +1/-0; ST +0/-0. Mattias Janmark, 3. Some good work but marred by a critical error. He was caught puck-watching on the second Florida goal, allowing his man Bennett to rifle in a goal. GAS: ES +0/-1; ST +0/-0. Evander Kane, 4. Charged hard at the net and drew a tripping call early in the second. Needs to bring more. GAS: ES +0/-0; ST +0/-0. Viktor Arvidsson, 4. Beat out a key icing call in the second. But making an enough of an impact, just like most Oilers forwards. GAS: ES +0/-0; ST +0/-0. Evan Bouchard, 5. Not his best game. Turnover early in second, then blocked shot to clean up own mistake. Part of a power play that failed to score. He got caught flat-footed on the third Panthers goal. Brilliant pass to set up McDavid's 3-1 goal. GAS: ES +2/-2; ST +0/-0. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Brett Kulak, 6. Early battle won kicked off Brown's break-in. Quiet game otherwise, which is good for a d-man. GAS: ES +1/-0; ST +0/-1. Jake Walman, 4. Battled hard, solid on defence until he got deked out by Marchand on the. third Florida goal. GAS: ES +0/-0; ST +0/-0. Mattias Ekholm, 2. He went right and Marchand deked left at the Oil's blueline, kicking off the rapid Sequence of Pain on Marchand's breakaway goal. Another major msitake on the second Florida goal, failing to dump the puck in deep, kicking off the goal rush. Excellent hustle play on McDavid's goal, winning a battle in the o-zone. But screened his goalie on the fourth goal. GAS: ES +1/-4; ST +0/-0. Troy Stecher, 4. Looked nervous early on, iced the puck, but cleared it off face-off. Allowed pass on Reinhart's 5-alarmer. Calmed down in the second. OK in 13:33 but Oilers need more on attack, should play Klingberg next game. GAS: ES +0/-1; ST +0/-0. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Darnell Nurse, 4. Failed to make read and allowed Reinhart's nasty first period slot shot. Was otherwise solid. GAS: ES +0/-1; ST +0/-0. Calvin Pickard, 3. Just could not come up with a save when it was needed. A save certainly would have been great on Marchand's first period breakaway. Not to be. But thwarted Reinhart's wide-open 5-alarmer. Little chance on Bennett's goal, but only one save on three Grade A shots in the first period. Hardly any action in the second, but one big save on Bennett. Beat yet again on Marchand's break-in, three goals on just six Grade A shots just then. Screened on the fourth goal, but four goals on seven Grade A shots at that point.
