The Florida Panthers will have a chance to become back-to-back Stanley Cup champions on Tuesday when they host the Edmonton Oilers for Game 6 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final. Florida took a 3-2 series lead with a 5-2 victory on Saturday, and Brad Marchand was the driving force with a pair of goals. The veteran now has five goals in the Stanley Cup Final 2025, and he’s the first player in NHL history to accomplish that feat for two different teams. Meanwhile, Edmonton will try to end Canada’s 32-year championship drought alive with another series-leveling victory. Edmonton’s Stuart Skinner is expected to start between the posts on the road against Florida in Game 6. Skinner’s over/under for total saves on Tuesday is 24.5.
Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Amerant Bank Arena in South Florida.
