Oilers Force Game 7 in Stanley Cup Final

Improbable Comeback Continues

The Edmonton Oilers have extended their improbable comeback in the Stanley Cup Final, forcing a deciding Game 7 with a 5-4 overtime victory over the Colorado Avalanche in Game 6 on Tuesday.

Host Team Advantage Comes Up Short

Home advantage did not play a role in Game 7, as the Oilers became the first road team to win a Game 7 in the Final since 2019. The Oilers are now 1-3 on the road in the series.

Oilers' Resurgence Continues

After trailing 3-1 in the series, the Oilers have now won three consecutive games to force a Game 7. The Oilers have a chance to become the third team in NHL history to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final.

Key Performance by Duncan Keith

Three-time Stanley Cup champion Duncan Keith played a pivotal role in Game 6, scoring the game-tying goal with just over six minutes remaining in the third period. Keith's goal gave the Oilers the momentum they needed to push the game into overtime.
