Watch: Perry caps unreal comeback as Ducks take Game 5 in double OT
Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports
The Edmonton Oilers are officially facing elimination, and were sent to the brink in the most heartbreaking way imaginable.
Corey Perry scored the game-winning goal in double overtime as the Anaheim Ducks won Game 5 by a 4-3 score. Anaheim now leads the series 3-2.
Perry and his teammates erased a 3-0 lead late in the third period, scoring three goals in 3:01, all with goaltender John Gibson on the bench. Rickard Rakell's game-tying marker was scored with only 15 seconds left on the clock.

The Ducks outshot the Oilers 20-9 in overtime, and 64-38 overall. Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot played one of the best games of his life, but it wasn't enough.
