Edmonton Oilers prepare for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final

Series opener set for Tuesday night at Amerant Bank Arena

Oilers looking to capture first Stanley Cup since 1990

The Edmonton Oilers will open the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday night when they take on the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena. The Oilers are looking to capture their first Stanley Cup since 1990, while the Panthers are making their first appearance in the Final since 1996.

The Oilers advanced to the Final by defeating the Calgary Flames in the second round and the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Final. The Panthers advanced to the Final by defeating the Washington Capitals in the first round, the New York Islanders in the second round, and the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Final.

The Oilers and Panthers have met twice in the regular season this year, with each team winning one game. The Oilers won the first meeting 4-3 in overtime, while the Panthers won the second meeting 5-2.

The Oilers are led by Connor McDavid, who is one of the best players in the NHL. McDavid has 33 goals and 79 assists in 79 games this season. The Panthers are led by Jonathan Huberdeau, who has 30 goals and 85 assists in 80 games this season.

The Oilers and Panthers are both evenly matched teams, and the series is expected to be close. The Oilers have the experience of having played in the Stanley Cup Final before, but the Panthers are a young and hungry team that is looking to make a name for themselves.
