The most important series of the worldwide ice hockey are about to begin as next Wednesday night the Rogers Place will be hosting the first game between Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers, teams that have successfully surpassed the playoffs in their respective NHL Conferences.
With that in mind, it’s also worth noting that these teams will face their second consecutive series in a Stanley Cup final, a scenario that hasn’t occurred since the 2008/09 season when Pittsburg Penguins and Detroit Red Wings lived the same situation. However, it must be noted that this will be the third Stanley Cup final for Florida Panthers in a row, a mark that was also reached out by Tampa Bay Lightning between the 2019/20 and the 2021/22 seasons.

Edmonton Oilers - Florida Panthers: Form Analysis
When looking closely at both teams’ performances, it's important to note that the Edmonton Oilers currently hold a streak of four victories in a row, in which they were able to score three or more goals per game. With the first game of the series taking place at home, this gives them a significant advantage, so it’s no surprise they’re favored to win.
The Oilers are favored as the home team in this first matchup of the series.
Nonetheless, Florida Panthers showed how to manage the pressure when facing a game on the road, as they were able to win three out of their four victories in the Eastern Conference final in that condition. That being said, it’s more than clear that the Edmonton Oilers are a very competitive team in comparison to the Carolina Hurricanes, so there’s no logical reason to expect Florida to keep the same level.

Edmonton Oilers & Florida Panthers Squad Analysis
Another key point about these teams is that both have some of the best rosters in the current NHL season. While Leon Draisaitl remains one of Edmonton’s top players, the team is no longer as reliant on him alone. This is evident in the consistently high-level performances of Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
When looking at the two rosters, the Oilers do have more star power at their disposal.
Meanwhile, the Florida Panthers have proven to be one of the most effective teams in the NHL playoffs, despite Aleksander Barkov’s relatively modest tally of 17 goals so far. With that in mind, the Panthers will need to rely on players like Sam Bennett and Matthew Tkachuk, who have been driving the team’s success throughout the postseason.
