Oilers' keys to victory for Game 6

• Continue to be aggressive on special teams. The Oilers have scored two short-handed goals and three power-play goals in the last two games.
• Counter the Panthers' forechecking with speed and quick up-ice passes. That has worked for them in recent games.
• Keep traffic in front of Bobrovsky and keep him moving with side-to-side passes.

Panthers' keys to victory for Game 6

• Play like they did after falling behind 4-1 in Game 5. But do it earlier. Score early and try to take the crowd out of the game.
• Stay out of the penalty box. The Oilers' power play has hurt them recently.
• Better performance from their stars. Matthew Tkachuk was back to being a difference maker in Game 5. Try to get Carter Verhaeghe back on the scoresheet.
