The Edmonton Oilers have forced a Game 6 in the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers, winning two straight games after being down 3-0 and on the brink of elimination.

Captain Connor McDavid has been pivotal in this comeback, putting himself in the Conn Smythe Trophy conversation even if the Panthers win the Cup.
With two goals and two assists in Tuesday's 5-3 victory at Amerant Bank Arena, McDavid now has 42 points in 23 postseason games. He's made history by becoming the first player in NHL history to record consecutive four-point games in a Cup Final series. He also broke the era adjusted points record and is five points shy of tying Wayne Gretzky of the most points in a postseason. He eclipsed the great one's playoff assist record in Game 4 and has raised the bar to 34 apples.
☑️ #LetsGoOilers  Connor McDavid has officially broken the era adjusted points record (44) in a single playoffs.

With 2 potential games to play, he could put some serious distance on it.

McDavid also has the era adjusted assist mark (36) by 8(!) over Gretzky (30 in 1987).

Former NHL defenseman and current analyst PK Subban had high praise for McDavid, drawing a lofty comparison.
I'm just sick and tired of people talking to me about McDavid and that he isn't the greatest right now. Everybody, not one person in the building thinks he's going to do this. Tic tac toe puts him in the 'McBlender' and the main ingredient in the 'McBlender.' McDavid's teaching Stanley Cup Final. 'You reach, I teach,' Michael Jordan used to say it. Connor McDavid's saying it now and he's doing it on the biggest stage.

Thanks to McDavid's heroics, the Oilers now have a shot at becoming the first team since the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs to complete a reverse sweep in the Stanley Cup Final. They're already the first lower seed to make it this far after being placed in that hole.
Game 6 is set for Friday night at what's set to a rambunctious Rogers Place. McDavid kept to his word after the Oilers 8-1 win in Game 4 and has dragged everyone back to Alberta.
