Ryan Nugent-Hopkins missed practice June 8 with an undisclosed injury but did take part in the optional skate on the morning of June 9. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch says he will be a game-time decision. "He'll take warmup and we'll decide from there," he said.
Jeff Skinner would return to the lineup if Nugent-Hopkins can't go. He has a goal and an assist in two playoff games.
"He's been a true professional and when we've needed him, he's been ready to play," Knoblauch said.
He'll return to the Panthers' lineup in Game 3 and Jesper Boqvist will come out. Greer, who plays on the fourth line with Tomas Nosek and Jonah Gadjovich, missed Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, was limited in Game 5 and missed the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final.

Defending champion Stallions' abrupt exit tops storylines from UFL playoffs
All good things must inevitably come to an end, and that's never been truer for the Birmingham Stallions. After three consecutive spring football championships, Skip Holtz's squad is out of the running for the 2025 UFL title after falling 44-29 to the Michigan Panthers in the USFL Conference Championship Game at Protective Stadium on Sunday. "It's hard to lose, but it's with great respect that I say congratulations to Michigan," Holtz said. "It's with great pride that I say that I have really enjoyed coaching this football team and [watching] what this football team has been able to accomplish." Sunday's win marked the first time in eight meetings that Panthers head coach Mike Nolan earned a win in a head-to-head matchup with Holtz. Even though his team got the win, Nolan said things are far from finished. "There's still work to be done," he said. "Our football team knows that. We're excited to have another week to play." The Panthers will face the DC Defenders — who dominated the St. Louis Battlehawks by double digits, 36-18, in the XFL Conference Championship Game at The Dome at America's Center on Sunday — in Saturday's title game. "We just didn't show up when we needed to show up," Battlehawks head coach Anthony Becht said about his team's loss after six consecutive wins to finish out the regular season. "DC really put it on us in all phases." Here's a look at other storylines from conference championship weekend: It's Toa Taua time! The Panthers entered Sunday's USFL Conference title game as the second-leading rushing team in the league, averaging 127 rushing yards a contest, and continued to assert their dominance on the ground in a decisive win over the Stallions, totaling 144 rushing yards. Taua was the catalyst, finishing with 85 yards and three touchdown runs. Taua rightly gave credit to the Michigan offensive line, calling it "an example of resiliency," as he routinely broke into the second level of Birmingham's defense without being touched. "When you can just walk into a touchdown untouched, that's nobody but them (the O-line)," he said. "I've just got to not be blind and see it. It was a great day collectively as an offense." In his first action since missing three games due to an ankle injury, QB Bryce Perkins completed 20 of 25 passes for 238 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Perkins also rushed for 34 yards and a score. Most importantly, Michigan finished with no turnovers, while Birmingham coughed up the ball twice — a 25-yard pick-six by Michigan safety Kai Nacua and lost a fumble. Battlehawks have no answer for Jordan Ta'amu & Co. Despite being well-rested and prepared, Becht acknowledged his team was dominated in all facets of the game. The Battlehawks went into last week's contest knowing they had to slow down Defenders QB Ta'amu. However, they were never able to do so. The Ole Miss product went 18-for-26 for 204 yards, highlighted by a 38-yard touchdown to receiver Seth Williams midway through the first quarter to give the Defenders a lead that they would never relinquish. "He really came out and executed on all cylinders," Becht said about Ta'amu. "He's a veteran in this league. He's still young. Just a hell of a performance by him." Ta'amu's only blemish was a pick-six in the first half — his first interception in 128 passing attempts. The Defenders were equally effective at moving the ball on the ground, as standout running back Deon Jackson rushed for 116 yards and two scores on 21 carries. The Defenders finished with 388 yards of total offense, scored on seven of 10 possessions and went 7-for-11 (63.6%) on third down. Holtz benches J'Mar Smith in favor of Matt Corral The Stallions never found any real consistency at the most important position on the field this season, which is one of the biggest reasons they'll be watching the championship game from their couch for the first time in four years. Holtz used five different players at quarterback and none started more than three games. Although Smith had played well entering the USFL title game, Holtz replaced the Louisiana Tech product after he threw a pick-six that put Birmingham down 20-6 late in the second quarter. "[After the interception], I just said, 'You know what? We need a boost. We need a spark,'" Holtz said. "I put Matt in, and I thought he did a good job of getting us back in the football game." Corral had not played since mid-April due to an abdominal injury. He went 12-for-25 for 147 yards and two scores, but he also threw an interception and lost a fumble. Smith went 4-for-10 passes for 102 yards, one touchdown and an interception before he was replaced. Deon Cain led the Stallions with six receptions for 124 yards. Birmingham finished with just 61 yards on the ground. Defenders overcome adversity under Shannon Harris' leadership With head coach Reggie Barlow and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams leaving at the start of the season, interim head coach Shannon Harris did a masterful job of leading his squad to the title game for the first time in team history. The Defenders' offense rolled to 36 points against the top-ranked defense in the league on the road in a hostile environment at St. Louis. Greg Williams' son Blake Williams, serving as the defensive coordinator for the Defenders, held St. Louis to 240 yards and a 22.2% conversion rate on third down. The Defenders also finished with five sacks. "It came down to us, we and ours — and that has been our motto the entire season," Harris said. "We're going to do this together. It's not a one-man show on any of this stuff. As a head coach, you get praise for it and you get a record put on you, but at the end of the day, it's us. We and ours." These two teams will meet for the second time this season. The Panthers easily handled the Defenders in Week 6 of the regular season at Ford Field, 38-16. In that game, the Panthers rolled up 233 yards on the ground, including 99 yards from Taua and 90 from Perkins. Ta'amu went 19-for-36 passing for 259 yards and two touchdowns. Finishing with nine receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown, Chris Rowland was Ta'amu's favorite target. If the Defenders want a shot at winning this one, however, they must do a better job of stopping the run. Eric D.

The Edmonton Oilers are... America's team?
Sunrise, Fla. — Sonya Gabriel grew up in Alberta. but she has called Florida home for the past 25 years. Wearing 1990s-era copper and blue Oilers' throwback jerseys, Gabriel and her husband, Sam, walked towards Amerant Bank Arena ahead of the faceoff of Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. But, there's a little more to this story. Gabriel grew up in Alberta, all right. As in Calgary, Alberta. Does she still have family there? Is her love for the Oilers a dirty secret? 'I do have family there,' she said. 'They all know I'm here. 'I've always loved the Oilers, since I was a kid. Since the Gretzky, Messier, Kurri and Fuhr times.' Her husband has only gotten into hockey over the past couple of years. Let's face it, the guy had absolutely no choice when it came to which team he was going to support. 'I've really been getting into it,' he said. Will they be back for Game 4? 'We'll see about Game 4,' said Sonya. 'We'll see how they do tonight.' The Gabriels are just part of the group of Oilers fans from across America who have travelled to Sunrise, Fla. for Game 3. Jay McIntyre and his son, Kyle, are rabid hockey fans from Philadelphia. 'We're every NHL team's fan,' said Jay (Just not the Flyers or Panthers, it seems). 'We've actually been to 23 venues. We were actually going to go to Rogers Place this year, but we couldn't make it.' 'Watching games that come from there, they just look so cool,' said Kyle. Getting to Edmonton is task No.1 left on their hockey bucket list, though. 'I want to see McDavid lift the Cup for the first time,' said Kyle. 'The Panthers have already won it last year, so I'm, like, meh. It's somebody else's turn.' 'I wanted to see them win last year,' said Jay. 'But I'm here to watch them this year.' Shelly Shively is from Elk Rapids, Michigan. She arrived at the arena wearing an Oilers home blue jersey. The Red Wings? Not her thing. She became an Oilers fan in 1987, during the Rendez-Vous series, which saw an NHL All-Star Team face the Soviet national side. 'A friend of mine was already a hockey fan, and she asked me, 'Pick your player,'' Shively said. 'So I picked my player, and it was Mark Messier. So, the next day, I looked in the paper to see who he played for.' And an Oilers fan was born. See, Messier's icy cold stare was actually endearing to some people. She's been to Edmonton to cheer on the team. And she's feeling good about the series. And, maybe, if things turn bad for the Oilers, she can aim an icy stare towards the visiting team's bench in order to get them to pick things up Why is the NHL tilted in Florida's favour?

Should the Panthers pursue newly-released CB Jaire Alexander?
Should the Panthers pursue newly-released CB Jaire Alexander? On Monday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers released two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander. Unable to come to terms on a compromise for the final two years and $37 million of their contract, the two sides officially parted ways right before the start of the team's mandatory minicamp. Also set to begin their minicamp on Tuesday are the Carolina Panthers, who could be willing to pick up the piece the Packers just left behind. But would signing Alexander make much sense in this current timeline? Well, it does on the depth chart, where the Panthers are still painfully thin at the outside cornerback position. Behind starters Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson sit Shemar Bartholomew and Akayleb Evans—who have four seasons of NFL experience between them—and three undrafted rookies. Heck, Horn and Jackson aren't exactly sure things either. The former has missed 31 of a possible 68 career games due to injuries while the latter is still trying to establish himself as a bonafide No. 2 in the secondary. Although the Panthers seem comfortable in moving forward with that tandem, teaming up Alexander with his fellow Pro Bowler in Horn suddenly gives them one of the best cornerback pairings in the NFL. The addition would also bump Jackson into a backup role, immediately strengthening that questionable depth. The prospect of signing Alexander, however, gets a little more complicated in the numbers game. For one, he presumably won't be looking to sign for cheap. Carolina has approximately $18 million in salary cap space, which ranks in the bottom half in the league and behind other potential suitors (some Super Bowl contenders) such as the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Plus, Alexander hasn't exactly been the most durable player in recent seasons. Due to numerous injuries, he was limited to 37 of Green Bay's 72 games (including postseason) between the 2021 and 2024 campaigns—so he's not the sure presence the Panthers need either. What he could be, though, is a potential mercenary. Yes, the term "mercenary" in sports is often reserved for teams in a championship window. And Carolina, obviously, is still trying to push that damn thing open. But now, especially in the current state of the NFC South, it may not be crazy to think that the Panthers could accomplish their goal of stealing the division in 2025. They can also offer Alexander, who lived most of his youth in the Charlotte area, something no other team can—home. Inking the 28-year-old Alexander to an expensive long-term pact doesn't feel like it should be in the realm of possibility for the young and upcoming Panthers roster. Instead, Carolina might want to consider a one-year trial run. Prior to his release, Alexander was taking in an annual average salary of $21 million—the fifth-highest amongst all cornerbacks. And he probably won't be very close to that number on his next agreement, considering the Packers—who have a good amount of cap space and real playoff hopes—weren't willing to continue at that price. If the Panthers can set aside about $14 million to $16 million for 2025, or even adjust an existing contract or two to make some space, then they may be able to sell Alexander on returning to his old stomping grounds for a prove-it deal. He can help catapult Carolina into contention while setting himself up for a more secure payday for 2026 and beyond. With the doubts surrounding his availability, Alexander may not end up finding that final big-time offer on the open market this summer. But he could find an intriguing opportunity, one that has the potential to be mutually beneficial for himself and his hometown team. Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.
