A team that's made a living out of coming back from the dead responded Thursday with its greatest, and most timely, resurrection of the Connor McDavid era. Trailing 2-1 in the Stanley Cup Final and 3-0 in the second period of Game 4, the Oilers rose up with a stunning display of resilience and force that changes the entire complexion of the series. With the while world crashing down on them after a train wreck of a first period, they shook off a seemingly-hopeless deficit, shook off Sam Reinhart's game-tying goal with 20 seconds left in the third period and took down the Panthers 5-4 in overtime. 'You get behind and have to chase it, but we did a great job of putting our heads down and continuing to fight,' said Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. 'That's kind of been the M.O. of our group all year, the past few years — not quitting on each other. Essential reading for hockey fans who eat, sleep, Canucks, repeat.

'We keep coming and coming as much as we can. We did a great job of bearing down and finding a way.' Leon Draisaitl's one-handed shovel toward the Florida goal at 11:18 found its way in for an NHL-record fourth overtime goal of the playoffs. Mr. Clutch did it again. 'He's a horse out there for us, always,' said Nugent-Hopkins. 'It's constant, it's consistent. We always can lean on him and he always finds a way to get those big ones.' And now, a series that was 40 minutes away from slipping away for good is now Edmonton's to lose — a best of three with two games in Rogers Place. 'We were able to get a little confidence and some belief that we can do this,' said head coach Kris Knoblauch. 'After the way Game 3 went, and the way the first period tonight went, a lot of teams probably don't find a way to rebound. A lot of credit to these guys. I'm very proud of them. I loved the effort.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Oilers were determined to make their stand, avenging their embarrassing 6-1 loss in Game 3 and proving they are strong enough to dethrone the Panthers. Instead, they came out and did the EXACT same things that buried them in Game 3. Once again, they couldn't match Florida's speed and intensity out of the gate and once again they made a bad situation worse by wearing out a path to the penalty box and caving in on the penalty kill. Stuart Skinner made some monster saves in the opening 10 minutes and kept his flustered teammates in the game while they were being outshot 10-2, but the Oilers seemed bent on handing Game 4 to the defending champions. Evander Kane (high-sticking) and Darnell Nurse (tripping) took careless penalties a minute apart at 10:38 and 11:36 and Matthew Tkachuk made it 1-0 on the ensuing five-on-three. Then Mattias Ekholm took another high-sticking penalty at 15:18 and Tkachuk made it 2-0. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The roof was coming down on Edmonton and it only got worse when both referees missed Carter Verhaeghe's high stick on Troy Stecher, a play that should have been whistled down seconds before Anton Lundell made it 3-0 in the final minute of the first period. The Oilers had reason to be angry, but they were also getting crushed out there, outshot 17-7 with the high-danger chances at 13-1 at the first intermission. It was over. The Oilers were done. Except the Oilers are never done until they're actually done. 'We kind of unravelled and what I noticed was a bunch of leaders in the room,' said defenceman Jake Walman. '(Corey) Perry gave us a little speech and a couple of other guys spoke up. The quiet confidence that we have in our room, even down 3-0, to turn that game around shows a lot about our group. I don't think we're ever out of the game.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. With Calvin Pickard starting the second period in goal in place of Skinner, the Oilers launched yet another improbable recovery. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored a power-play goal at 3:33, Darnell Nurse roofed one at 12:47, Vasily Podkolzin tied it at 15:05. And when Jake Walman scored with 6:26 to go in regulation, a comeback for the ages was complete. Reinhart's goal could have broken them, but the Oilers weren't going to be denied. 'We believe that no matter how bad it is, if we get over that hump of adversity we're going to keep pushing, we're going to keep coming and eventually it will break,' said Draisaitl. 'We don't want to be in these situations too many times, but when they happen we're great at it.' The Oilers are now 10-0 in Game 4s over the last three seasons and 19-2 in Games 4 through 7 of a playoff series over the last two years.

Pop superstar Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce were among the celebrities who flocked to Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday to watch Game 4 of the final — with the Bad Blood singer seen holding hands with Kelce as they headed to their seats. Kelce, a Super Bowl-winning tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is a known hockey fan along with his brother Jason Kelce. And since Swift and Kelce began their high-profile romance in 2023, the 14-time Grammy Award-winning singer has been known to pop in on big sporting events — including the last two Super Bowls — and cause an excited frenzy for fans.

A helicopter landed near Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla., ahead of the game. The VIP entrance to the area was also closed off and the media elevator was not available to be used for a period of time before pregame warmups began.

RECOMMENDED VIDEO Swift recently announced that she regained control over her entire body of work. In a lengthy note posted to her official website, Swift said that all the music she's made now belongs to her after she has purchased her catalog of recordings — originally released through Big Machine Records — from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. Over the last few years, Swift has been re-recording and releasing her early albums in an attempt to regain control of her music. Other celebs in attendance included former Miami Dolphins star defensive end Jason Taylor, who banged the drum before the game, and hockey greats Wayne Gretzky and Jaromir Jagr. Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo was joined by former Heat captain Udonis Haslem on the drum on Monday. The defending champion Panthers led the best-of-seven series 2-1 heading into Thursday's game.
