The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers are facing off in the NHL's Stanley Cup Final for a second consecutive year and puck dropped for Game 1 on Wednesday night. It did not take the Oilers very long to make their mark. In fact, they barely needed one minute to open up the scoring.
In front of a raucous crowd hungry to see the Oilers redeem themselves after last year's seven-game heartbreaker, Rogers Place absolutely exploded in Edmonton after Leon Draisaitl found the net empty off a rebound and put the Oilers up 1-0 with 18:54 remaining in the first period.
