NHL Reveals Oilers-Panthers 2025 Stanley Cup Final Schedule, Dates, Times
NHL Reveals Oilers-Panthers 2025 Stanley Cup Final Schedule, Dates, Times originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Edmonton Oilers are returning to the Stanley Cup Final after eliminating the Dallas Stars in five games, setting the stage for a rematch against the reigning champions Florida Panthers. Advertisement The NHL announced the full schedule for the best-of-seven series on Thursday night following Edmonton's 6-3 win in Game 5. Florida and Edmonton will begin the Final on Wednesday, June 4, at Rogers Place in Canada. It's the first time two teams have met in back-to-back finals since the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2008 and 2009. The Panthers reached their third consecutive Final after beating the Carolina Hurricanes in five games. Florida defeated Tampa Bay and Toronto before the conference finals, while Edmonton beat Los Angeles and Vegas. Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk said Florida is far more prepared now than even before. Advertisement "Whoever we play, we'll be very prepared for them," Tkachuk said after eliminating Carolina. "It's not our first rodeo with this." Oilers' Leon Draisaitl, meanwhile, said Edmonton will welcome the chance for redemption. "We know what they're about. We played them seven times," Draisaitl said. "They're a good team. We're a really good team as well. Obviously, it's nice to get a shot at getting some revenge, but we're a long way from that." Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (97) before the game against the Colorado Avalanche at Ball Chenoy-Imagn Images The full series schedule is as follows, with the Oilers holding home-ice advantage for the series, contrary to what happened last season when the Panthers enjoyed that advantage.

IndyCar Series Detroit Grand Prix channel, start time, leaderboard, crashes, starting grid
The IndyCar Series runs the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix today, a 100-lap race on a 9-turn, 1.645-mile downtown street layout. Colton Herta won pole position here for the second straight year, and Scott Dixon and Graham Rahal were assessed six-position starting grid penalties for unapproved engine changes. Nathan Brown is your best IndyCar follow, and sign up for IndyStar's motorsports newsletter. We will have leaderboard updates and highlights throughout, so feel free to hit refresh. Row 1 1, Colton Herta 2, David Malukas Row 2 3, Kyle Kirkwood 4, Christian Lundgaard Row 3 5, Alex Palou 6, Rinus Veekay Row 4 7, Scott McLaughlin 8, Will Power Row 5 9, Marcus Armstrong 10, Christian Rasmussen Row 6 11, Graham Rahal (had 5th-best qualifying effort) 12, Marcus Ericsson Row 7 13, Louis Foster 14, Felix Rosenqvist Row 8 15, Alexander Rossi 16, Scott Dixon (had 10th-best qualifying result) Row 9 17, Callum Ilott 18, Pato O'Ward Row 10 19, Kyffin Simpson 20, Jacob Abel Row 11 21, Santino Ferrucci 22, Robert Shwartzman Row 12 23, Devlin DeFrancesco 24, Josef Newgarden Row 13 25, Conor Daly 26, Sting Ray Robb Row 14 27, Nolan Siegel Push-to-pass: 150 total seconds, in increments up to 15 seconds. Tire allotment: Five sets of primary tires (six for rookies) and five sets of alternate tires. Teams must use one set of primary tires and one set of new alternate tires for at least two laps in the race. Alex Palou, who has won five of the six races. Kyle Kirkwood has one win. Scott Dixon avoided the crashes and penalties on the tight downtown street course to come away with his 58th career win. From Nathan Brown, IndyStar Picking Alex Palou is so obvious that we're barring him from this portion of the preview for a while. Pato O'Ward sits second and Christian Lundgaard third in points, but they're more than two races' worth of max points behind Palou. Who makes a move in the points standings? Marcus Ericsson would have been 10th in points after crossing the finish line second in the Indianapolis 500, but he stands 20th after his car failed post-race tech inspection. He earned his lone podium finish in 2024 in Detroit, and with a similar performance this weekend, Ericsson makes up a lot of the ground he lost in the championship standings in Indy. Something you didn't see coming: At a track where he started on pole last year, but only finished 19th, Detroit seems like as good a track as any for Colton Herta to find some momentum. He sits just 9th in the championship standings with a single top-5 finish. However, the narrow streets of Detroit can be cruel, and somehow Herta and the No. 26 crew leave with a tough result unbecoming of the traditionally dominant street course program of Andretti Global.
