Panthers and Oilers Set for Electric Rematch in 2025 Stanley Cup Final
We’re heading for a thrilling showdown in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, and it’s a rematch that fans have been hoping for. Yes, the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers are about to collide again on hockey’s biggest stage, echoing the fierce seven-game battle we saw just last year. Back then, it was Florida who edged Edmonton 2-1 in an epic Game 7. And now, both teams are back with vengeance, pride, and history on the line.
Let’s start with the Panthers. Florida is making their third straight appearance in the Final—an incredible feat on its own. They’ve grown into a postseason powerhouse. Their journey this year included hard-fought series wins over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven tough games, and a confident close-out against the Carolina Hurricanes in five. Sergei Bobrovsky continues to be rock solid in goal, playing every minute of the playoffs with a stellar 2.11 goals-against average and three shutouts. Offensively, they’ve had balanced contributions from nearly everyone—Barkov, Tkachuk, Bennett, Verhaeghe, and even Brad Marchand have all hit double-digit points. The Panthers have become a complete team, and they’re playing with the confidence of battle-hardened contenders.

Now on the other side, Edmonton. The Oilers have also fought their way back to the Final for the second straight season, proving that last year wasn’t a fluke. They took down the Kings, the defending champion Golden Knights, and most recently, dispatched the Dallas Stars with authority in Game 5. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are in peak form, combining for over 50 points so far this postseason. Corey Perry, yes, 39-year-old Corey Perry, has stepped up with clutch goals, adding experience and grit to the Oilers' lineup. And while the goaltending duo of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard has had ups and downs, they’ve held firm when it counted.
This matchup is loaded with storylines: revenge, redemption, and legacy. Florida is looking to prove they’re not just a one-year wonder, while Edmonton is driven by last season’s heartbreak and hungry to reclaim the glory they haven’t tasted since 1990. For fans, it’s a dream rematch—fast, physical, emotional hockey between two battle-tested teams.
Game 1 is set to begin on June 4, and there’s no doubt both sides are dialed in. As Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk put it, “It’s not our first rodeo.” The stakes are high. The emotions are raw. The puck’s about to drop on what could be another instant classic.
So, grab your jerseys, get your snacks ready, and settle in. This is the Stanley Cup Final—Panthers vs. Oilers, Round 2. And it’s going to be unforgettable.
