Stanley Cup live updates: Oilers at Panthers Game 6
The Edmonton Oilers are in Florida for a must-win Game 6 in the Stanley Cup Final vs. the Panthers.
This is it. The Edmonton Oilers need to win tonight.
If they do, they'll get to play one more game. And not just any game: Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers.
That should sound familiar. Last year, the Oilers and Panthers took it to the best-of-seven limit in the Cup Final, won by Florida.
If the Oilers lose, their season is over.
The Panthers lead the best-of-seven series heading into Tuesday's tilt three games to two.
Follow along here for live updates as I keep tabs on Game 6 in Sunrise, Fla.

Oilers hoping to force Game 7 in Stanley Cup Final
As CTV Edmonton's Nicole Lampa reports, the Florida Panthers are one game away from a second consecutive Stanley Cup.
3:05 p.m. - Skinner to start in goal
Stuart Skinner is getting the call for Game 6. The Oilers goalie will start Tuesday night, head coach Kris Knoblauch said after the morning skate. Skinner was pulled in Game 4 after allowing three goals on 17 shots in the first period. Calvin Pickard took over the net as the Oilers won that game in overtime, but lost as their Game 5 starter.
Forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins didn't skate Tuesday morning, but Knoblauch said he expects the 15-year veteran of the team to play in Game 6.

St. Albert seniors cheering on the Oilers with their very own Papa Stanley
Papa Stanley (middle) with Oilers fans at Everitt Gardens, ready to cheer on the team for Game 6 on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. A group of Oilers fans in St. Albert is finding their own unique way to support the team without having to go down to the Ice District. Seniors at Everitt Gardens are known for their Oilers game day videos on TikTok, often dressing up and belting out their best chants. While many people might know Mama Stanley, a local fan donned in silver sequins and paint in the Moss Pit, Ed Wilkins is taking a spin by dressing up too, with his group dubbing him Papa Stanley. 'First of all, I thought they were kidding me and secondly, I thought I was nuts to do it but it's fun.' Wilkins told CTV News Edmonton. His outfit consists of a silver face paint, a sequined T-shirt, a silver top hat with tinsel and a glittery skirt to replicate the Stanley Cup. Wilkins says last year Mama Stanley paid a visit and loved his outfit as well. 'He's such a trooper, he doesn't mind putting on the makeup and he wears our glitter skirt and the glitter top and he gets fully dressed as Papa Stanley,' said Everitt Gardens recreation manager Lori Cary on Tuesday. Cary says it warms her heart to see the seniors build a community during the Oilers playoffs. 'We like to say this is their home and you can really see the love and the fun that they have of shooting these videos and cheering on their favourite team,' she said. She added making TikTok videos to the seniors' recreation calendar for Tuesday afternoons to ensure they kept the spirit going throughout the season. Cary says after Mama Stanley's visit, it was only fair that Papa Stanley make his mark and Wilkins volunteered for the role. Wilkins has no doubt he'll be putting on his silver outfit for a potential Game 7. 'They are a great team, there's no two ways about it.' With files from CTV News Edmonton's Amanda Anderson
