In the first two games of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, Florida Panthers' forwards Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart have successfully limited the Edmonton Oilers' scoring, allowing only one five-on-five goal. Despite their strong defensive play, the duo has failed to score at even strength, with the series currently tied 1-1. Barkov has been relatively ineffective with just five shots on goal, while Reinhart leads in shot attempts but has not converted on any. The Panthers acknowledge the need for greater offensive output despite their defensive success to secure a win.
While we’ve been able to limit their scoring at even strength, we have to find a way to convert our chances into goals if we want to win.
This series is a test of our depth as a team. It’s going to take all lines contributing to create opportunities with the Oilers’ defensive strengths.
