They now stand on the brink of joining an elite group by potentially overcoming a 3-0 deficit to claim the Cup. Historically, only four NHL teams have managed such a comeback in any playoff series.

Edmonton dominated early in Game 6, scoring three unanswered goals to establish a 3-0 lead heading into the final period. Warren Foegele opened the scoring, followed by goals from Adam Henrique and Zach Hyman in the second period. Although Aleksander Barkov briefly narrowed the gap for Florida early in the third period, their power-play struggles persisted, going 0-for-3, including a critical opportunity in the final period.
