Panthers forward Sam Bennett continued his incredible postseason, scoring his 15th goal to increase Florida's first period lead to 2-0.

The Florida Panthers move within a victory of their second straight Stanley Cup title, beating Edmonton 5-2 in Game 5.

EDMONTON -- The Florida Panthers are one win from repeating as Stanley Cup champions, but they’re still learning, still improving. They showed it in a 5-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final at Rogers Place on Saturday, taking a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Once Atlantic Division rivals, the pair of forwards are making NHL history with fantastic play through the first three games of the final.

The Florida Panthers played probably as close to a perfect road game as they could on Saturday. It has them at the top of the NHL record book and one win away from repeating as Stanley Cup champions as a result.

Marchand, who also scored five goals in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final with the Boston Bruins, joined Mario Lemieux (five goals in 1991 and 1992 with the Pittsburgh Penguins) as the only players to score at least five goals in a Cup Final in the NHL expansion era (since 1967-68).
