EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers are where they have long expected themselves to be, which is playing for the Stanley Cup.

The Oilers open the best-of-seven NHL championship Saturday night against the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla.

The Cup final is new territory for Kris Knoblauch in his first season as an NHL head coach, as well as the majority of the Oilers including McDavid. Edmonton hasn't given up a power-play goal its last 13 playoff games with 28 straight kills. After a quiet first four games in the conference final against the Dallas Stars, the NHL's top power play resumed its efficient clip with four power-play goals on five chances over two wins to close out the conference final.

"It was a good time for me to kind of reset mentally and get some rest physically and just really remember what I'm here to do," Skinner said."After that break, being able to come back and have the games I was able to play and winning Game 7 in Vancouver, and bringing that momentum into the Dallas series, I think was just really massive for myself personally."
