The Panthers will try to become the first team to defeat the same opponent in the Cup Final in consecutive seasons since the Montreal Canadiens swept the Boston Bruins in four games in 1977 and defeated them in six in 1978. Florida knows it won't be easy to knock off Edmonton again because it wasn't last season either.

This Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers is just the second in NHL history in which each team started the first three rounds on the road.

The Edmonton Oilers will try to turn the tables on the Florida Panthers in this year's Stanley Cup final. Game 1 of the series is Wednesday in Edmonton.
