Oilers Search for Answers on Offense Against Panthers in Cup Final
Oilers Ready to Fight Through Adversity After Game 2 Loss
The Edmonton Oilers face an uphill battle after dropping Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers. The Oilers managed just 21 shots on goal and failed to convert on their power play opportunities, leading to a 4-1 loss.
Barkov Practices, Could Be Available for Game 3
There is some hope for the Oilers as Aleksander Barkov, the Panthers' leading scorer, participated in practice on Sunday. Barkov has been sidelined with a lower-body injury but could potentially return for Game 3 on Monday.
Oilers Need Instinct to Fix Power Play in Game 3
One of the biggest areas of concern for the Oilers is their power play, which has failed to score in both games of the series. The Oilers have been overly reliant on set plays and need to find more instinctual ways to create scoring chances.
The Oilers face an elimination game in Game 3 on Monday. They will need to find a way to generate more offense and find a way to stop the Panthers' potent attack. If they can do that, they have a chance to extend the series and fight another day.
