Looks like this is the year of the threes. The Atlantic Division’s third ranked team and also Stanley Cup defending champions Florida Panthers have scrapped their way back to the Final for the third straight year, where they will take on the Pacific Division’s third placed side Edmonton Oilers in a repeat of last season’s Final where the Panthers beat the Oilers 4-3 after jumping into a three-game lead to open the series, before the Canadian side fought back with three wins of their own, and former Sabre Sam Reinhart scored the SCF-winning goal in the third… nope.. second period.
Florida Panthers (3A) beat Edmonton Oilers (3P) 4-2
Game 1: Oilers 4, Panthers 3 (OT)
Game 2: Panthers 5, Oilers 4 (2OT)
Game 3: Panthers 6, Oilers 1
Game 4: Oilers 5, Panthers 4 (OT)
Game 5: Panthers 5, Oilers 2
Game 6: Panthers 5, Oilers 1
EDIT: The Florida Panthers turn their third consecutive Stanley Cup Finals appearance into a successful defense of their championship win, beating the Edmonton Oilers once again.
