The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers kick off the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday after close to a week off for both teams.
The Panthers confirmed their spot in the NHL's championship series last Saturday. Edmonton set up the matchup one day later.
Florida is expected to have a slight edge on home ice to kick off the series, but the Oilers can be competitive in any game with Connor McDavid on the ice.
Game 1 should be a good lesson for us in how the Panthers will try to defend the best hockey player in the world.
