Florida Panthers Gain Additional Day of Rest Before 2,500-Mile Trip to Canada, Closing in on First Stanley Cup Final Victory

Reported 7 months ago

As the Edmonton Oilers head back to Alberta for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers will depart South Florida a day later, benefiting from an extra day of rest before their lengthy 2,543-mile flight to Edmonton. Coach Paul Maurice acknowledges the fairness of the two-day break between games due to the considerable travel distance. The Panthers plan to pass the time with activities like sleep, card games, and television to stay occupied during the long journey. With a 2-0 series lead and a strong performance from goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, the Panthers have momentum on their side, while the Oilers aim to improve their scoreless power play. Florida captain Aleksander Barkov's availability is uncertain after sustaining an injury in Game 2.
