The Stanley Cup Final shifts to Edmonton with Florida in full control.
The Panthers took care of business at home to open the 2024 championship series. After Sergei Bobrovsky shut out the Oilers in Game 1, Florida followed it up with a 4-1 victory in Game 2 thanks to a pair of goals by Evan Rodrigues.
Florida’s defense and goaltending have been better than advertised. Edmonton’s high-flying offense of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Co. have been held to just one goal through two games in the Stanley Cup Final. McDavid has just one assist while Draisaitl is without a point, and the Oilers’ potent power play has gone lifeless against the Panthers’ penalty kill.
History is on the Panthers’ side. Teams that go up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final have gone on to win 91 percent of the time. Meanwhile, the Oilers are aiming to become the first team since the 2011 Bruins to come back from down two games to win the title.
The biggest storyline heading into Game 3 is the status of Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov. The Florida center left Game 2 in the third period after taking a high hit from Draisaitl. He traveled with the team to Edmonton, but it’s not 100 percent clear if he will skate on Thursday night.
