Viral flasher sensation Kait Flynn, who went viral during last year's Edmonton Oilers Stanley Cup run, is back, and fans have been rallying around her online.

As the Edmonton Oilers prepare to play in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, one of their most recognizable fans, Kait Flynn, has kept a surprisingly low profile.

Flynn made headlines last season during the playoffs by achieving notoriety as the 'Flasher Girl' after exposing her chest to the audience in Game 5 of the Conference Finals against Dallas.

Since then, she's been able to turn her time of fame into a string of appearances, including a role on 'Spittin' Chiclets' and modeling features with Multiple Modeling agencies and magazine companies.

Her social media followings got further boosted with her Game 7 Stanley Cup Final selection last season, posted from the shower, which turned her into a real internet sensation.

'Without a doubt, McJesus (Connor McDavid) is going to lead the Oilers to victory and the Cup is coming back to Edmonton,' she said.

Even in the wake of the Oilers' 2-1 devastating Game 7 defeat to the Panthers, Flynn continued to be in the spotlight, sharing a series of inspiring Instagram stories, one of which is a tongue-in-cheek clip where NHL commissioner Gary Bettman awards her the Conn Smythe Trophy.

Flynn has been active online despite not being at any games in the playoffs

Even though she hasn't been spotted at Rogers Place during this stretch of playoffs, Flynn has been active on social media.

This has prompted some Oilers fans to comment on her posts, believing she can turn the series in Edmonton's favor.

With the series sitting at 2-2 and Game 5 puck drop scheduled for 6 PM MT in Edmonton, fans are wondering: might an unlikely return by Flynn be what the Oilers need? We will soon find out!
