The Panthers have struggled to close out teams on their first chance and hope to avoid a second straight Stanley Cup Game 7 as they look to put away the Oilers on Tuesday and win their second straight Cup.

As the Florida Panthers stand at the gates of another Stanley Cup crowning, Matthew Tkachuk dropped a powerful command to Brad Marchand and the rest of the team as they gear up for Game 6 against the Edmonton Oilers.

At 37 years old, Brad Marchand continues to amaze. Marchand scored a pair of goals in the Florida Panthers' 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night, helping Florida move within one game of winning back-to-back Cups while also joining the history books in the process.

Matthew Tkachuk and the Florida Panthers are one win away from becoming back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions. After a dominant 5-2 on the road in Edmonton on Saturday night, Florida has provided itself with the opportunity of a lifetime back at home on Tuesday night.

Star forward Matthew Tkachuk worked hard to return from his injury just in time for this Panthers playoff run.

Tkachuk will lead Team USA along with his brother, Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers, Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews, Boston Bruins defenceman Charlie McAvoy, Vegas Golden Knights centre Jack Eichel and Vancouver Canucks blueliner Quinn Hughes.
