Thus, it is tied in the final series, 2-2.

On the stands in Florida sat Taylor Swift together with her boyfriend Travis Kelce. The Kansas City Chiefs star has a well-known interest in hockey and had her brother Jason with her.

They were treated to a huge drama.

In the first period, the home team Florida seemed to be on their way to a clear victory when they pulled ahead to 3–0.

In the second, it was a role reversal when the guests instead tied the score with three consecutive hits.

When Edmonton scored 4–3 with just over half of the third period played, it looked like it was going to be a draw – but with only 20 seconds left on the clock, Florida scored 4–4 after pulling out the goalie.

Finally, the guests pulled the longest straw when German Leon Draisaitl scored the decisive goal 11.40 into the first overtime period, a goal that was assisted by Mattias Ekholm.

An incredibly important win, of course, says Mattias Ekholm according to Aftonbladet.

The fifth final in best-of-seven is played on the night before Sunday, Swedish time.
