NHL Makes Historic Connor McDavid Announcement Amid Stanley Cup Final
NHL Makes Historic Connor McDavid Announcement Amid Stanley Cup Final originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers didn't get the result they wanted in Game 5, falling 5–2 to the Florida Panthers and slipping to the brink of elimination in the Stanley Cup Final. Advertisement In slightly better news amid their defeat, team captain Connor McDavid reached another historic milestone on Saturday. McDavid finally broke through in the final, scoring his first goal of the series midway through the third period. That tally also gave him 150 career playoff points in just his 95th postseason game, making him the third-fastest player in NHL history to hit the mark. 'PLAYOFF. PERFORMER. 😤 Connor McDavid joins Wayne and Mario as the fastest players to 150 #StanleyCup Playoffs points!' the NHL posted on X, along with an image acknowledging the achievement. Only Wayne Gretzky (in 68 games) and Mario Lemieux (in 86 games) reached that 150-figure earlier than McDavid. Advertisement The Oilers' superstar now sits alone in elite company, and he also leads this year's playoff field with 33 points in 21 games, tied with teammate Leon Draisaitl in total points but leading him in assists with 26 to Draisaitl's 22. Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (97) celebrates scoring during the third period against the Florida Panthers in game five of the 2025 Stanley Cup Nelson-Imagn Images Saturday's goal helped Edmonton briefly cut Florida's lead to 3–1, but Panthers forward Sam Reinhart answered 46 seconds later, and the Oilers couldn't close the gap. The Panthers added an empty-netter to seal it and earn the final 5-2 victory. With McDavid's milestone coming in a loss, the Oilers now face back-to-back must-win games starting with Game 6 in Florida on Tuesday before — and only if they force Game 7 — returning to Edmonton for a finale on Friday.

Want to see Panthers play at home in the Stanley Cup Final? What Game 4 tickets will cost you
Fans celebrate following the Panther's second goal during the first period of Game 3 in the NHL Stanley Cup Final series at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday, June 9, 2025, in Sunrise, Fla. The Florida Panthers' first home game of the Stanley Cup Final was a memorable one. They blew out the Edmonton Oilers 6-1, playing a dominant all-around game in front of a sold-out Amerant Bank Arena crowd of 19,863 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. If you want to be at the arena to see them continue their path toward a championship repeat, time is running out — and you'll probably need to empty your wallet a little bit. Advertisement Game 4 on Thursday, an 8 p.m. start, is the only guaranteed home game left on the schedule with Florida two wins from winning the Stanley Cup. Game 5 is in Edmonton. Should the Oilers win either of the next two games, the Panthers would host Game 6 on June 17. The cheapest ticket available on the resale market for Game 4 as of Tuesday afternoon is $429 on SeatGeek. That will get you a seat in Section 329, in a corner of the arena on the side of the ice where the Panthers will shoot during the first and third periods. If you want to get closer to the action, most resale tickets in the lower bowl are going for over $1,000 each but there are a few available in the $750-$900 range. Through eight home playoff games, the Panthers have had an average announced attendance of 19,783 per game, which is at 102.8% capacity. The listed capacity crowd at Amerant Bank Arena for hockey games is 19,250.
