The Thunder are one win from their first NBA title since the team moved from Seattle in 2008. The Pacers are on the brink of elimination.

Just like it in the Cup Final a year ago, Edmonton trails Florida 3-2 in the best-of-7 series, although the manner of getting to Game 6 and the venue has changed. Last season, the Oilers lost the first three games, then won the next three to force a Game 7, a 2-1 loss in Florida.

It's anyone's guess who starts in goal for the Edmonton Oilers when they face elimination in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.

"Skinner's got a higher upside," former NHL goalie Cory Schneider said. "His best is better than Cal Pickard's."

This year, McDavid (seven goals, 26 assists) and teammate Leon Draisaitl (11 goals, 22 assists) are tied for the playoff scoring lead with 33 points apiece. Draisaitl leads the Oilers with eight points (four goals, four assists) in the Cup Final. McDavid is right behind with seven points (one goal, six assists).
