Florida Panthers facing Game 7: Stats from 3 losses

Florida Panthers face Game 7 in Stanley Cup Final after blowing 3-0 lead against Edmonton Oilers. Power play struggles continue.

The Florida Panthers are facing a daunting task as they head into a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers. What was once a commanding 3-0 series lead has now turned into a nerve-wracking situation for the Panthers.

In the past three games, the Panthers have struggled to play with a lead, as the Oilers have consistently scored first and built upon their advantage. Edmonton has managed to go up by at least two goals in each of the past three games, leaving the Panthers playing catch-up.

The Panthers' power play has been a major issue throughout the series, with a dismal 5.3 percent success rate. Edmonton has even outscored Florida on the power play, netting shorthanded goals. Despite attempts to shake things up, the Panthers have struggled to generate quality scoring chances with the man advantage.

Interestingly, the Panthers have a strong record when they limit their opponents to three goals or less, boasting a 15-2 record in such games. However, when they allow more than three goals, they have struggled, losing six out of eight games this postseason, including all three in the Stanley Cup Final.

The Panthers now face a must-win Game 7, where they will need to address their power play struggles, play with a lead, and tighten up defensively to have a chance at clinching the Stanley Cup. It will be a test of their resilience and ability to bounce back from adversity.
