Social media sleuths have identified the viral female Oilers fan shown behind the team’s bench on Friday night.
The Oilers managed a third consecutive win over the Panthers on Friday night, tying their Stanley Cup Final series up 3-3.
Another win would hand them a title, making them the first Canadian team to hoist it since 1993. It would also make them the second team in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup after going down 3-0 and the fifth to win a playoff series after falling into said hole.
Still, the victory wasn’t the only reason fans were excited over Friday’s game.
A certain supporter sitting behind the Oilers bench was trending, too. Check her out below:

Natalie has since been identified as model Natalie Gauvreau, who was touted as the Dallas Stars’ “lucky charm” during the playoffs in 2022. A Stars superfan, Natalie has apparently switched allegiances for now.

The Oilers will play the Panthers in Game 7 on Monday and hope to return home with a Stanley Cup in tow.
They might have two of the internet’s most viral fans at the game in Florida, with Natalie and the supporter who flashed the crowd vs. the Stars possibly getting ready to fly to said American state for what could be quite the historic fixture.
