Florida Panthers vs. Edmonton Oilers Team News & Key Leaders
Florida Panthers
The Panthers are reporting they are at full strength for Monday's game.
Florida had few chances in the opening 40 minutes of Game 1, but they made most of the ones they did have. Carter Verhaghe flew through the blue line and received a backhand pass from Aleksander Barkov to put it into the net to break the deadlock.
Evan Rodrigues came off a centering pass and found the back of the net early in the second period to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead. The Cats scored an empty-net goal from Eutu Luostarinen to put the game to bed.
Sergei Bobrovsky's exceptional goaltending performance stole the show, as he stopped all 32 shots faced, including several breakaways and dangerous opportunities from three-time MVP Connor McDavid.
Edmonton Oilers
Similar to the Panthers, no current injuries that will affect Monday's match are being reported by the Oilers.
The Oilers entered the series averaging 3.50 goals per game in the playoffs but in Game One, their offense fell flat, failing to find the back of the net despite firing 32 shots at the net.
The best player in the hockey world, Connor McDavid, will give it another go after he couldn't get one in despite six shots. Additionally, the Oilers need some of the other attacking stars to click. Draisaitl fired four shots, but none went in.
Zach Hyman is the leading goal scorer in the Stanley Cup playoffs with 14. However, none of his three shots went in.
Goalie Stuart Skinner did not face many shots. However, two of the 17 shots went in, as he couldn't stop Verhaeghe or Rodrigues from finding the back of the net. Skinner will need to do a much better job of protecting shots in front of the net.
