Marchand, Bennett push Panthers past Oilers 5-2 to take 3-2 lead in Stanley Cup final
Florida Panthers' Brad Marchand (63) scores a goal on Edmonton Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard (30) during the first period in Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup final in Edmonton, Saturday, June 14, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson Connor McDavid had Sergei Bobrovsky at his mercy. Edmonton's superstar captain chipped a rebound from the side of the net toward Florida's off-balance goaltender that somehow stayed out as part of Saturday's early surge. The Panthers, as they have so often over the last three springs, steadied themselves and pushed back. Now the Oilers sit in a familiar spot — facing elimination in the Stanley Cup final. Brad Marchand scored twice to give him a series-leading six goals and Sam Bennett buried his NHL playoff-leading 15th as Florida defeated Edmonton 5-2 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven matchup. 🗣️ HEY PANTHERS FANS 🗣️ We want to see your reactions to Brad Marchand's game-winning goal that has you one step away from another #StanleyCup! Send 'em here ➡️ — NHL (@NHL) June 15, 2025 'Chasing the game over and over against a team like this, it's very difficult,' said Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, whose group has been outscored 11-4 through five first periods after falling behind 2-0 early Saturday. 'They took advantage of some opportunities. At the end of the day, we didn't and it ends up being a difference.' Sam Reinhart and Eetu Luostarinen, into the empty net to go along with an assist, had the other goals for the defending champs. Bobrovsky made 19 saves for the Panthers, who can clinch a second straight Cup win over the Oilers after falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023 when the series shifts back to Sunrise, Fla., for Game 6 on Tuesday. 'It's a great opportunity,' Bennett said. 'We're not going to get ahead of ourselves. It's going to be the hardest game. We know that. The job's not done yet. A lot more work to do.' Game 7, if necessary, would be back in Edmonton on Friday. Bennett and Marchand are the first players since 1981 with at least five goals each in the same final, and the first teammates to do so since 1973. 'We're just enjoying the moment,' Marchand said. 'It's a special time, special memories we're gonna have forever.' The 37-year-old is also the first player to register six goals in a final since 1988. 'When you need guys to step up, time and time again he's there to produce,' Reinhart said. McDavid and Corey Perry replied for the Oilers. Calvin Pickard stopped 14 shots. McDavid and fellow star centre Leon Draisaitl were not made available to reporters post-game. 'We've come out flat now most of the series … it's a mindset,' Edmonton defenceman Mattias Ekholm said. 'They're a good team for a reason. They've come out and showed that early in the games and we have to find a way to be better at the start.' The Oilers don't have much time. 'We're a team that can find a way to come back,' Nugent-Hopkins said. 'But it's not always going to happen.' Edmonton trailed Florida 3-0 in last year's final only to battle back with three straight victories to force a winner-take-all finale the club lost 2-1. McDavid had that early chance and another decent look inside an electric Rogers Place — the raucous, well-lubricated weekend crowd hit 113.4 decibels when the home side touched the ice ahead of puck drop — before the Panthers pounced. Marchand was quickest off a faceoff at centre and then blew past Ekholm before firing his ninth of the playoffs off the post and in at 9:12. The trade deadline acquisition from the Boston Bruins now has 12 goals in his four appearances in the final to become the seventh player in the post-expansion era to reach that number. He's also the second player since 1967-68 to have at least five goals in multiple finals after scoring that many in 2011 with the Boston Bruins to join Mario Lemieux (1991 and 1992). The Oilers went to the power play later in the period, but a disjointed and timid sequence resulted in little zone time and no shots on Bobrovsky. Florida doubled its lead moments later when Bennett fired past Pickard, who got the start ahead of Stuart Skinner following his 23-save performance off the bench in Edmonton's dramatic 5-4 overtime victory in Game 4, after Matthew Tkachuk's initial shot was blocked at 18:06. Bennett is the fourth active player to have at least 15 goals in a single playoff, joining Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby and injured Oilers forward Zach Hyman. 'There's a connectedness you feel as a group,' Edmonton blueliner Darnell Nurse said. 'We've had it for moments over the course of this series, but it wasn't there tonight.' Edmonton went back to the man advantage in the second period, but Bobrovsky denied both Nugent-Hopkins and Perry before McDavid hit the post. Marchand made it 3-0 at 5:12 of the third when he undressed Edmonton defenceman Jack Walman and slid home his 10th past Pickard. McDavid gave the home side some life at 7:24 with a shake-and-back move on Bobrovsky for his seventh of the playoffs and first of the final. But Reinhart put things to bed 46 seconds later when he snapped home his seventh. Perry nabbed a consolation goal with 3:13 left in regulation and Pickard on the bench for an extra attacker in an Edmonton push that came far too late before Luostarinen iced it into the empty net to push the Oilers to the brink — and another heartbreaking end. 'We've got to win one game,' Nurse said. 'That's all you can control. You don't look at it any other way. We've got to go to Florida, bring our best effort. 'And try to win one game.' --Joshua Clipperton This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 14, 2025.

Ad campaign aims to bring Americans back to Canada; a Gen Z unemployment spike: CBC's Marketplace cheat sheet
Canadian tourism groups use friendly ads to woo back Americans 4 days ago Duration 2:07 With cross-border travel plummeting since the start of the U.S.-Canada trade war, Canadian tourism groups are trying to lure back American tourists with friendly ad campaigns that assure them they're still welcome despite tensions between the two countries. Miss something this week? Don't panic. CBC's Marketplace rounds up the consumer and health news you need. Want this in your inbox? Get the Marketplace newsletter every Friday. Fewer Americans are visiting Canada. Ad campaigns assure them they're welcome here Late last year, Dan Davis of Cleveland began planning a motorcycle trip with friends this summer that includes several days in Ontario. But those plans became a little uncertain after U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January and imposed tariffs on Canada, sparking a trade war. That, coupled with Trump's frequent threats to make Canada the 51st state, has sparked anger among many Canadians. Davis noted that, in February, Canadians booed the U.S. national anthem at several NHL games, and in March, the Canadian government ran a billboard campaign in a dozen U.S. states, including Ohio, declaring that Trump's "tariffs are a tax." "Those things just made us wonder, 'Wow, are we going to be welcome in Canada?'" said Davis, adding that the licence plates on the group's motorcycles reveal they're from Ohio — a state Trump won in the 2024 election. "On a motorcycle, you're a little more vulnerable," he said. "All it takes is one person to say, 'You know what, I'm going to show these guys a lesson,' whether it's vandalizing a bike or … throwing a beer can at you." Since Trump took office and Canada-U.S. relations have become strained, fewer Canadians are visiting the U.S., and fewer Americans are coming to Canada. The number of trips Americans took to Canada by car declined 10.7 per cent in April and 8.4 per cent in May compared with the same time last year. Air travel declined 5.5 per cent in April and 0.3 per cent in May. Some tourism associations worry a number of Americans may be staying away because they fear a chilly reception, so they've launched ad campaigns that assure their neighbours they'll be warmly welcomed. from CBC's Sophia Harris. Gen Z is facing the worst youth unemployment rate in decades. Here is how it's different Graduation cap in hand, Sarah Chung is posing for photos in school regalia ahead of her convocation ceremony. The campus atmosphere is joyful, but what comes next is sobering: This honours student is graduating into one of the worst youth labour markets seen in decades. "It's bleak," said the 23-year-old graduate of the University of Calgary's media and communications program. She hasn't been able to find a job in her field and said she intends to pursue a master's degree. "I believe that it's tough just because of everything that's happening with the economy, with our society and with politics," she said. "There's a whole [lot] of talk about 'there's a recession coming.' I'm not an economist, but I can also see it as well." Chung is part of a generation facing Canada's highest youth unemployment rate in about a quarter-century. Apart from the pandemic, Canadian graduates between the ages of 15 and 24 are facing the highest unemployment rate this country has seen since the mid-1990s, according to first-quarter data from Statistics Canada. At that time, Jean Chrétien was Canada's prime minister, Gen Z was but a twinkle in their parents' eyes and the global workforce had yet to be transformed by social media, gig work and artificial intelligence. Fast forward to 2025, and Canada's youngest workers are grappling with a perfect storm of economic conditions: an inflation crisis that came on the heels of a pandemic; a surge in population growth that has outpaced the number of available jobs; and now, a country teetering closer to recession as the U.S. trade war wreaks uncertainty on the economy. One expert says youth unemployment can be a "canary in the coal mine" that foreshadows broader troubles in the labour market. "It's kind of an early warning indicator," said Tricia Williams, director of research at Future Skills Centre, a Toronto Metropolitan University lab dedicated to studying the future of work. "It's not just about getting jobs and skills experience. It's about the larger structural supports and the environment that young people are coming into."

Federal government to put latest Canada Post offer up for union vote Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu said Thursday she's putting Canada Post's latest offers to unionized postal workers up for a vote in the hope of breaking a long-standing impasse between the parties. She said in a social media post it's in the "public interest" to give members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) an opportunity to vote on the offers, which Canada Post said are its "final" proposals. Hajdu said the Canada Industrial Relations Board will be directed to conduct the vote "as soon as possible." CUPW, which represents about 55,000 mail workers, has pushed back on the idea of a membership vote on the latest offer. The union accused the employer of being "not serious about meaningful arbitration" in a bulletin sent to members on Tuesday. Hajdu asked the parties on June 4 to work out terms for binding arbitration — a process that would see a third party attempt to hash out a collective agreement. Read more. What else is going on?

Marchand, Bennett too hot for Oilers to handle in Game 5 of Stanley Cup final
EDMONTON - Driving the Florida Panthers attack in the playoffs is a player in his NHL prime and another acting like he is. Sam Bennett, 28, and Brad Marchand, 37, continued to be a lot for the Oilers to handle in the Stanley Cup final in Florida's 5-2 win over Edmonton on Saturday to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
