As it was in 2024, it is again in 2025. For the 12th time in NHL history, the Stanley Cup will be a rematch as the Oilers and Panthers take the ice against each other in the league's showcase series. Will Florida win back-to-back Stanley Cups? Or will Edmonton get the win this time?

Odds, how to watch, starting goalies, and best bets for Stanley Cup Final Game 1 between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.

The Panthers will try to become the first team to defeat the same opponent in the Cup Final in consecutive seasons since the Montreal Canadiens swept the Boston Bruins in four games in 1977 and defeated them in six in 1978. Florida knows it won't be easy to knock off Edmonton again because it wasn't last season either.
