The Oilers are coming off a hard-fought Western Conference Final series against the Dallas Stars, which they won in six games. The Panthers, meanwhile, swept the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final.
The Oilers will be looking to get off to a good start in the series, but they will have a tough task against the Panthers, who have been one of the best teams in the league all season.

The Panthers will also need to get contributions from their top players, including Aleksander Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Aaron Ekblad, in order to win the series.

The winner of the series will hoist the Stanley Cup, the most prestigious trophy in all of sports.
