Matthew Tkachuk Sends Clear Message About Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup Final originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Stanley Cup Final is back, and so are the title contenders. For the first time since 2009, the NHL will see a championship rematch, as the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers prepare to square off for a second straight year.

The Florida Panthers look to advance to the Stanley Cup Final as the Carolina Hurricanes attempt to extend the series in Game 5 of the East Final on Wednesday.

“What I take from it is we won three, but it doesn’t take three to win a series,” Panthers star winger Matthew Tkachuk said. “That’s the simplest answer I’ve got. We need one more, and it’s the hardest one to win.”

The Florida Panthers are getting healthy, including Sam Reinhart, as they try to close out their series vs. the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Panthers scored five goals in a 9:08 span of the third period, pummeling the Hurricanes 6-2 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final and getting one win from a third straight Stanley Cup
