SUNRISE, Fla. — The Oilers are dragging the Panthers back to Alberta.

Connor McDavid is the overwhelming reason why.

The superstar captain had two goals and two assists as Edmonton held on for a 5-3 victory Tuesday to cut Florida’s lead in the Stanley Cup final to 3-2.

Connor Brown, Zach Hyman and Corey Perry also scored for the Oilers, who have won two straight — including an 8-1 whitewash on home ice in Game 4 — facing elimination after dropping the best-of-seven series’ first three contests.
