Panthers’ Matthew Tkachuk Makes Blunt Admission After Oilers’ Game 1 Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Florida Panthers let a 3-1 lead slip away in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final and lost 4-3 in overtime to the Edmonton Oilers.

The Florida Panthers looked like anything but underdogs as they dismantled the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals, but they'll embrace the role of the underdog against the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final.

Just less than a year later, those two teams are back in the Stanley Cup Final, a rematch between the champion Panthers and the runner-up Oilers that begins with Game 1 at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, TNT, truTV, MAX).
