This Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers is just the second in NHL history in which each team started the first three rounds on the road

Oilers forward Corey Perry will be playing in the Stanley Cup Final for the fifth time in six seasons. He has been on the losing end of the past four he's been in; 2020 with the Stars, 2021 with the Canadiens, 2022 with the Lightning and last year with the Oilers.

The novelty of winning at this time of year hasn’t worn off. The defending champions simply have become used to it by now.
