The Panthers learned their opponent for their third consecutive trip to the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday night. Florida, which punched its ticket with a Game 5 win over Carolina on Wednesda y, will face the Edmonton Oilers, who clinched the Western Conference final with a win over Dallas on Thursday.

Connor McDavid and the Oilers have a chance to get revenge in a rematch with the Panthers, but the odds are against them.

A year ago when the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers met in the Stanley Cup Final, they were polar opposites in everything from climate, market and franchise history to deep-run experience and toughness.
