Panthers look to even the Stanley Cup Final against the Oilers in Game 2
EDMONTON, Alberta -- Trailing the Stanley Cup Final after losing the opener in overtime, the defending champion Florida Panthers look to even things up in Game 2 at the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night. Winning on the road has not been a problem for them so far, going 8-3 away from home, the third loss coming Wednesday on Leon Draisatl's power-play goal following a puck-over-the-glass penalty on Tomas Nosek. The task of going into a packed, loud arena is just another challenge the Panthers are embracing. 'It's that 'us against the world' mindset, but you really feel it especially being down in a series,' winger Matthew Tkachuk said. 'Us against the 20-plus guys you're playing against, the 20,000 that are in the rink, the 20,000 that are outside the rink. It's just us against everybody. That's what makes playing on the road so fun and rewarding when you can get a win.' If they do, it will wrestle home-ice advantage away from the Oilers with play shifting to Sunrise for Games 3 and 4 next week. One of the toughest parts of being on the road is trying to defend Draisaitl and Connor McDavid when they're on the ice together. Coach Kris Knoblauch did that some late in Game 1, and it's difficult for Paul Maurice to counter without the last line change to control matchups. 'When they play together, they're obviously very creative players and they'll make everyone around them better,' Florida defenseman Seth Jones said. 'They like to look for each other, especially when they play together, little give-and-goes, things like that, and then they're dangerous off the rush, too. Whether they're playing together or apart, it's a five-man unit defending.' The Oilers remain without Zach Hyman, out for the remainder of the playoffs after his right wrist got dislocated on a hit during the last round. The Panthers could be close to full strength if A.J. Greer can return, and Maurice said fourth-liner Jonah Gadjovich is good to go after missing part of Game 1.

What is the Oilers' goal song in 2025? Here's the answer.
What is the Oilers' goal song in 2025? Here's the answer. The Edmonton Oilers are in the hunt for a possible first Stanley Cup in decades, and with names like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, they score a lot of goals that fans in Alberta can celebrate. If you're not one of those fans and you're watching the Oilers play in 2025, you might be wondering: what's the goal song they play at Rogers Place whenever the team lights the lamp at home? We have answers for you! That song would be Fluxland by XL, one of those fist-pumping house music-esque songs with a very singable lines that fans can shout as they're celebrating the red light going off and their team potting a puck in the net: The song ranked 13th on our list of the best NHL goal songs, given how catchy it is. Now, I'd argue it's not as catchy as La Bamba -- which was played after wins for a while -- or Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club, which has become the Oilers' new postgame anthem this season. But Fluxland is a solid choice for a goal song, and if you're like me, you'll have that tune stuck in your head for a while after the 2025 Stanley Cup Final.
