Stanley Cup Final Matchup Set
Panthers, Oilers Square Off in Battle of Contrasting Styles
The stage is set for an intriguing Stanley Cup Final matchup between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers, two teams that have taken very different paths to the championship series.
The Panthers, who lost in the Final last season, are the slight favorites at -128 in Stanley Cup Final odds provided by FanDuel. They are a high-scoring team led by Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe, and they have a strong defense anchored by Aaron Ekblad and MacKenzie Weegar.
The Oilers, on the other hand, are a more defensively-minded team led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. They have allowed the fewest goals per game in the playoffs, and they have a lot of experience in big games.
The two teams have played once this season, with the Panthers winning 4-3 in overtime. The Final is sure to be a close and exciting series, and it could go either way.
