Edmonton Oilers make biggest road Stanley Cup Final comeback in 106 years to tie series
Leon Draisaitl scored his fourth overtime goal of the playoffs to lead the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-4 win over the Florida Panthers. -And just like that, we have a series. The Edmonton Oilers completed a comeback for the ages to down the Florida Panthers 5-4 in overtime to knot the Stanley Cup Final up at 2-2. After erasing a three-goal deficit, the Oilers found themselves leading 4-3 in the closing seconds of the third period when Florida's Sam Reinhart found the back of the net to tie it up with 19.5 seconds remaining for the defending Cup champion Panthers. Advertisement However, it was a familiar face who took matters into his own hands in the overtime period. Leon Draisaitl, who was the OT hero in Game 1, played the role again, scoring just over 11 minutes into the extra period to send the Oilers back to Canada feeling some excitement. The 29-year-old German has had a knack for scoring in overtime especially in these playoffs with Game 4's goal being his fourth – the most OT goals in a single postseason in NHL history. As a result of the win, Edmonton became the first team in 106 years to comeback from a three-goal deficit and win on the road in the Stanley Cup Final series. The last time the feat happened was in 1919 when the Montreal Canadiens beat the Seattle Metropolitans. It is also only the sixth time in NHL history that a team has come back from a three-goal deficit to win a Stanley Cup Final game. Advertisement As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce looked on at Amerant Bank Arena, the path to a victory for Edmonton did not appear to be reachable. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were in attendance at Amerant Bank Arena for Game 4 on Thursday. - Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press/AP Thursday's game appeared to be a repeat of the beatdown the Panthers put on the Oilers in Game 3 early on. Florida quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead after two power play goals from Matthew Tkachuk and an Anton Lundell goal 41 seconds before the first intermission. Edmonton replaced goaltender Stuart Skinner with backup Calvin Pickard to start the second period, rejuvenating the struggling Oilers squad. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Darnell Nurse and Vasily Podkolzin all scored for Edmonton to knot things up at 3-3 after two periods as the home crowd was left stunned. Advertisement Oilers defenseman Jake Walman gave Edmonton a 4-3 lead with 6:24 left, but just as Panthers fans started to head for the exits, Reinhart injected life into the south Florida crowd, though it was not to be in the end. The Oilers have tied the Stanley Cup Final at 2-2 as the series shifts back to Canada. - Brian Babineau/NHLI/Getty Images Draisaitl commended his teammates for their no-quit attitude despite the holes the team digs for itself sometimes. 'We'd like to put ourselves into better situations for ourselves so we don't have to constantly fight back and hang in there and scratch and claw our way back,' Draisaitl told the TNT Sports broadcast. 'But it is a great characteristic of our team. We continue to chip away at it. And today, obviously, not a great start but then we started playing.' Advertisement Draisaitl downplayed the overtime goal record, saying that it was 'good' but the team 'had a lot more work ahead.' 'I'll take it but (there's a) bigger picture,' Draisaitl added. The series will shift back to Western Canada at the Rogers Place in Edmonton for Game 5 on Saturday. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at

How former Alabama golfers performed during first round of 2025 U.S. Open
How former Alabama golfers performed during first round of 2025 U.S. Open One of professional golf's premier annual events began Thursday morning in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, as countless players played their opening rounds at the 2025 U.S. Open from Oakmont Country Club. Included in that lengthy field of players were many of the world's greatest golfers, four of which played collegiately for the Alabama Crimson Tide before beginning their professional careers. Taking a deeper look at those four Alabama names as well, Thursday was simply a rough day for some at Oakmont, while one name in particular had an impressive day that positions himself well going into the second round Friday. Here is a look at how every former Alabama golfer performed during the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday. Betting odds are according to BetMGM as of Thursday night, June 12 Justin Thomas Round 1 Score: 76 (+6) 76 (+6) Tournament Score: +6 (T-98) +6 (T-98) Current Odds: +35000 +35000 Round 2 Tee Time: 7:18 a.m. ET Thomas had a rough showing Thursday at the U.S. Open, shooting a 76 to now sit at six-over for the tournament as we enter Friday. Because of this, the former Alabama star will likely need a big day Friday in order to make it to the weekend. Davis Riley Round 1 Score: 78 (+8) 78 (+8) Tournament Score: +8 (T-124) +8 (T-124) Current Odds: N/A N/A Round 2 Tee Time: 2:09 p.m. ET Coming off what was his best-ever performance at a major by finishing tied-second at the PGA Championship, Riley had a rough first round at Oakmont on Thursday in which he shot a 78 (+8). Riley will likely need a big second round Friday in order to make it to the weekend. Nick Dunlap Round 1 Score: 77 (+7) 77 (+7) Tournament Score: +7 (T-119) +7 (T-119) Current Odds: N/A N/A Round 2 Tee Time: 8:13 a.m. ET Similar to both Thomas and Riley, Dunlap also struggled Thursday at Oakmont, shooting a 77 to sit at seven-over for the tournament entering Friday. Dunlap also needs a big Friday in order to make the cut. Bud Cauley Round 1 Score: 70 (E) 70 (E) Tournament Score: E (T-11) E (T-11) Current Odds: +6600 +6600 Round 2 Tee Time: 8:02 a.m. ET Alabama's top performer during the first round was undoubtedly Cauley, who shot an even 70 on Thursday to now sit at T-11 entering Friday. Cauley is only four shots behind the leader J.J. Spaun entering the second round, and is certainly a name to watch for Friday.
