US EditionCanada hopes eighth time a charm as nation seeks first Stanley Cup in a generation
- The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers face off in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final starting Wednesday in Edmonton, marking a rematch of last year's seven-game series.
- Last year, the Panthers took a 3-0 lead before the Oilers forced a Game 7 in Florida’s Amerant Bank Arena, but the Panthers won their first championship; this series reverses home-ice advantage.
- The Oilers enter the final with strong recent form, including 12 wins in their last 14 games and balanced scoring from 19 players, led by superstar captain Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
- McDavid leads playoff scoring with 26 points in 2025, after registering a record 42 points last year, while the Panthers rely on standout winger Matthew Tkachuk and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky with a 12-5 postseason record.
- Both teams face physical and emotional challenges of the final, with Edmonton eager to end a Stanley Cup drought since 1990 and Florida aiming for back-to-back titles, suggesting a highly competitive and intense series ahead.
