Connor McDavid scored his first goal of this Stanley Cup Final in Game 5, only after he and the Edmonton Oilers fell behind 3-0 on the way to getting pushed to the brink by the defending champion Florida Panthers.

Friday night's Game 5 victory for the Florida Panthers was fueled by Brad Marchand's fifth and sixth goals of the Finals, which gave his team a 3-2 series lead and etched his name with some elite company in the process.

The Conn Smythe Trophy could be awarded as early as Tuesday in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida (8 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC).
