The 2025 Stanley Cup Final begins today and features a rematch of last year's dramatic series.
The Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers will face off Wednesday night for Game 1 in Edmonton, Alberta, with the Panthers seeking their second consecutive title. Florida built a 3-0 lead in the 2024 Final before Edmonton rallied to win three in a row. The Panthers won 2-1 in the decisive Game 7 to lift the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history.
The Oilers are aiming for their first championship since 1990 and Canada's first since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens. Edmonton also has the NHL's best player in Connor McDavid, who has won three MVP awards, five scoring titles, one goal title and made seven All-Star appearances. The Panthers will counter with Aleksander Barkov, who won the Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward for the second consecutive season.
