For the first time since last June, the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers met in a Stanley Cup rematch. Florida has knocked off the Oilers the previous two seasons to win back-to-back titles, and because of that, it has become must-watch TV even in the regular season.
On Saturday night in South Florida, two teams that are struggling to begin the 2025-26 season in their respective conferences tangled, and as expected, things got spicy. Real spicy.
The Oilers jumped out to an early lead in the first period, but tempers were already hot between the two clubs.
