The Panthers are on the cusp of yet another Stanley Cup.

Brad Marchand scored a pair of goals and Sergei Bobrovsky made 19 saves to give Florida a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 5, putting the Panthers one win away from their second consecutive NHL title.

Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhart and Eetu Luostarinen, into the empty net, also scored for the visitors, which looked in control throughout the game.

When a best-of-seven Stanley Cup final is tied 2-2, the winner of Game 5 has gone on to win the series 73 per cent of the time.

The Oilers were down 2-0 in the third period when the veteran Marchand scored at 5:12 — his second of the game and sixth of the series — to take the air out of Rogers Place.

Edmonton captain Connor McDavid did his part re-energizing the building two minutes later, scoring his first of the final.

But Reinhart regained Florida’s three-goal lead 46 seconds later.

After Corey Perry scored for Edmonton with 3:13 left in the game to make it 4-2, with Calvin Pickard on the bench for the extra attacker, Luostarinen put the game to bed for Florida with the empty-netter.

With the win, the Panthers matched the NHL record for road wins (10) in one playoff year.

Marchand scored his fifth goal of the series at 9:12 of the first period. Off a draw at centre ice, Marchand jumped on the puck and raced to Edmonton’s net, got the inside position on Mattias Ekholm, and fired the puck past Pickard off the post and in.

It was Marchand’s 12th career goal in a Stanley Cup final — the most among all active NHL players.

The Panthers have scored first in four consecutive games.

With less than two minutes to play in the period, Bennett did what he does best: silencing the visiting crowd.

Off a turnover in neutral ice, Matthew Tkachuk’s shot on net was blocked by Jake Walman but the puck fell right to Bennett on the doorstep. Bennett scored in his sixth consecutive road game, becoming only the fifth NHL player to accomplish the feat, and the fourth active player to score at least 15 goals in a single post-season.

It was better from Edmonton in the second period. The Oilers tried to cut the deficit, boosted by two power-play opportunities in which they put together good scoring chances.

With Aaron Ekblad in the box for tripping, Perry had a big chance in front of Bobrovsky but couldn’t get his stick on a bouncing puck.

Later, after Reinhart flipped the puck over the glass, Perry’s deflection missed the net just wide before Oilers captain McDavid ripped a shot off the post.

Game 6 of the series goes Tuesday in Sunrise, Fla.
