Panthers-Oilers Stanley Cup Final Is as Tight as Can Be. Game 3 Could Tilt the Series

  • The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers are tied 1-1 in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final after Games 1 and 2, with Game 3 scheduled Monday night in Florida.
  • The Panthers reached the Final after winning their first Stanley Cup last year and replacing two key defensemen who left, including Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Brandon Montour.
  • Veteran defenseman Nate Schmidt, 33, joined Florida to fill the defensive void and took months to integrate before becoming a major contributor in the playoffs and Stanley Cup Final.
  • Schmidt had two assists in Game 1 despite a team loss, and coach Paul Maurice said Schmidt has "found his fun again" while teammates praised his effectiveness and off-ice levity.
  • With the series tied and both teams playing tightly in overtime, Game 3 could pivot the outcome as the Panthers aim to harness home-ice advantage against the Oilers.
