Game 7 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers will decide which team will lift the famous trophy. It sets up a winner-takes-all final game in what has been a thrilling series.

In the words of Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov, the Stanley Cup Final has become “everyone’s dream.”The Edmonton Oilers have come back from the brink, igniting imaginations and creating a unique chapter in NHL history. “Game 7, so everyone’s dream, and that’s why we need to be ready for Game 7,” Barkov told reporters. The home team in Game 7 has a 12-5 record in the Stanley Cup Final. Home advantage has helped historically, with the host team enjoying a 12-5 record in Game 7 of the Final. Hyman, who with 16 goals has scored the most in a single postseason since Joe Sakic had 18 in the 1996 Stanley Cup playoffs, summed up the Oilers’ position nicely.

CNN —The Edmonton Oilers aren’t done with their quest to end Canada’s decades-long Stanley Cup drought when they face off against the Florida Panthers in Game 6 on Friday. The Oilers defeated the Panthers 5-3 Tuesday at Amerant Bank Arena, forcing the Stanley Cup Final back to Canada. The Oilers were 0-3 down in the best-of-seven series series, but arguably have the momentum after successive wins as the scene shifts back to Edmonton. If the Oilers secure a win at home on Friday, they would take the series to a winner-takes-all Game 7 in Sunrise, Florida. If they manage to come back and win the series, the Oilers will finally end a three-decade Stanley Cup drought for Canadian teams – the Montreal Canadiens were the last to lift the Cup back in 1993.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — There’s a question that Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito likes to ask people. “Bill takes in all opinions, but he does what he thinks is right,” Panthers coach Paul Maurice said. “We travel with this really high-end coffee maker,” Tkachuk said when told of Zito’s belief that good coffee is vital. He’s really involved with helping us with whatever we need, but he’s not overly involved like where he’s in your face every day. “Those players are committed and committed to winning and being selfless, who are really, really good people.

☆ Stronger on defense, Panthers take on East-leading Bruins

November 21 - The Florida Panthers, who will go for their third straight win when they play host to the Boston Bruins Wednesday night, are getting an unexpected contribution from defenseman Niko Mikkola. July 1, the Panthers signed Mikkola to a three-year, $7.8 million contract. Indeed, in just 18 games this season, Mikkola - who made his NHL debut in January 2020 - has already matched his career high with three goals. The Bruins led that series 3-1 before Florida won the next two and then took Game 7 in overtime. That game was atypical for Boston as the Bruins have allowed more than two goals just four times this season -- all losses.

The Florida Panthers started the season without Sam Bennett, and they are bracing to be without him once again. Panthers coach Paul Maurice told reporters after the team practiced in Detroit on Wednesday that the reigning Eastern Conference champions aren't sure on the prognosis for Bennett, Florida's fourth-leading scorer in last season's playoffs. Bennett needed to be helped off the ice, unable to put any weight on his left leg. The Panthers have dealt with injuries throughout this young season, with defensemen Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour still expected to be weeks away from making their 2023-2024 debuts. He loves playing in Florida, loves the fans, loves the area.
