The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers will meet once again Tuesday evening, with everything on the line heading into Game 6 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final — a potential elimination game. With a victory Tuesday night, the Panthers would clinch their second consecutive Stanley Cup win after securing the franchise’s first last year.
After the Oilers tied up the series 2-2 in Game 4, the Panthers clapped back with a dominant 5-2 win in Game 5. Left wing Brad Marchand was the hero, managing two goals in just 13:55. He leads both teams with six total goals in this Final series, while tying teammate Anton Lundell with a plus-minus of 18 through the playoffs to lead all players.
With everything on the line tonight, the Oilers are making a change, opting to re-insert veteran goaltender Stuart Skinner back into the starting lineup. After starting 50 games for Edmonton in the regular season (and the first four of the series), Skinner was benched in favor of backup Calvin Pickard, who allowed four goals on 18 shot attempts in his Game 5 start.
Of the switch, coach Kris Knoblauch noted, “Stu has been in a lot of high-pressure games and has played really well. You look at the amount of elimination games he’s played, there was six last year, and every single (elimination) game he’s played in were really solid, if not spectacular performances. We’ve got a lot of confidence in him.”
The Panthers are moneyline favorites, with odds at -155 to the Oilers at +130.
If necessary, Game 7 will take place Friday, June 20, at 8 p.m. ET from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
Date: Tuesday, June 17
Time: 8 p.m. ET
Location: Amerant Bank Arena | Sunrise, Florida
TV: TNT
