Bobrovsky arrested 19 of the 21 shots he faced, making significant stops if necessary, and was helped by the defense of locking which won from the ice to the Oilers.
Marchand, Bennett and Sam Reinhart provided the offensive. Marchand has joined Mario Lemieux as the only players in the last half century to score more than more goals in the final several times, and his 13 career goals in the final are the most active.
“I take advantage of every moment,” said Marchand, who has been in his fourth final and third since his replacement for the Cup with Boston in 2011. “It is such a special group of guys, and I am having so much here right now. I feel honestly like a young guy in the league, just excited to be part of the group.”
The defender of the oilers struck a fine of $ 10,000 after the fight of the Stanley Cup

Connor McDavid scored his first goal in the series after the Oilers have lagged 3-0. Reinhart came 46 seconds later to restore the advance of the three goals of the panthers, and when Corey Perry scored with 3:13 on the left, it was too late.
The Eetu Luostarinen sealed it with an empty net with 1:19 on the left, silencing the crowd once pulled for the last time.
“We just have to play our match earlier,” said Oilers defender Darnell Nursee. “We can all suit our room that we can be better.”
Edmonton’s power game went 0 for 3, a product of the aggressive penalty of the panthers which strikes McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the rest of the higher unity of their usual rhythm.
Calvin Pickard lost for the first time in eight departures this spring, granting four goals on 18 shots. He obtained the head of Stuart Skinner after having entered into relief and won match 4 to go to 7-0, a record which is now 7-1.

Skinner could be back for match 6, the panthers aimed at closing things after another cross journey back to the other corner of North America. They are there after rebuilding to breathe an advance of three goals and falling into an extension in match 4, taking advantage of their depth to send the oilers to the edge.
“We were good enough to bounce back all the playoffs,” said Marchand. “We learned a pretty good lesson there the last game, and we thought we had done a much better work in it.”
