For the first time in 16 years, there will be a Stanley Cup Final rematch.
The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Dallas Stars 6-3 to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. Edmonton struck early and often, and while Dallas fought back to try and avoid elimination, it wasn’t enough to prevent the series-clinching win for the Oilers.
The last Cup rematch took place in 2009, when the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Detroit Red Wings in seven games to win the championship. The Wings took home the prized trophy in 2008.
