The Stanley Cup Final is set. The Florida Panthers are back in the final round of the NHL Playoffs for the second consecutive year after falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in five games last year. It's the third Cup Final appearance in franchise history for the Panthers, who are still seeking to hoist their first Stanley Cup. The Edmonton Oilers haven't reached this stage since 2006 and haven't won the Cup since 1990.
It's the first playoff meeting between Florida and Edmonton. The teams played twice during the regular season, with the Panthers winning both.
Playing in his ninth season and first Stanley Cup Final, Oilers captain Connor McDavid is the playoffs leader with 31 points, scoring five goals and assisting on 26 others. Leon Draisaitl is second in points with 28 (10 goals, 18 assists), and McDavid linemate Zach Hyman leads the team with 10 playoff goals.
For the Panthers, Matthew Tkachuk leads with 19 playoff points (five goals, 14 assists) followed by captain Aleksander Barkov (six goals, 11 assists) and linemate Carter Verhaeghe (eight goals, nine assists) with 17 points each.
