Florida Panthers
The Panthers have reached the decisive stage of the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive time. Last season, they couldn't compete effectively against Vegas, losing the series 1-4.
In the current playoffs, Florida's journey has been very challenging. In the first round, the team unexpectedly easily defeated Tampa Bay and then overcame the powerful Boston Bruins and New York Rangers in six games each.
Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton has finally reached the Stanley Cup Finals. With stars like McDavid and Draisaitl on the roster, the team has always been just a bit short of success. This year, the Oilers also looked unstable and struggled through the playoff bracket.
The Kings didn't put up much resistance, but the duels with Vancouver (4-3) and Dallas (4-2) took a lot of energy from the Oilers.
