Oilers Fall to Panthers in Game 1 of Stanley Cup Final
Oilers Lose 3-0
Tough Reffing and Determined Panthers Defeat Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers lost 3-0 to the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night. The Oilers were outplayed by the Panthers for most of the game, and the Panthers took advantage of some questionable officiating to take an early lead.
The Panthers scored the game's first goal on a power play in the first period. The Oilers were called for a tripping penalty, and the Panthers capitalized on the opportunity with a goal from Aleksander Barkov.
The Panthers added to their lead in the second period with a goal from Jonathan Huberdeau. The Oilers had a chance to tie the game on a power play in the third period, but they were unable to convert.
The Panthers then sealed the victory with an empty-net goal from Sam Reinhart in the final minute of the game.
The Oilers will look to even the series in Game 2 on Friday night.
