Evan Rodrigues scores twice in the third to help the Florida Panthers take a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers for a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final.
Evan Rodrigues had two goals in the third period, Niko Mikkola and Aaron Ekblad also scored and the Florida Panthers beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 on Monday night to take a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 18 shots for Florida, which was 1-8 all-time in Cup final games before this series started — and now is two wins away from capturing its first championship.
Edmonton’s Warren Foegele was ejected in the first period for a knee-on-knee hit that knocked Florida’s Eetu Luostarinen from the game briefly; that ejection, plus an injury to Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse left them with only 11 forwards and five defensemen for much of the game. Rodrigues scored early in the third off a turnover for a 2-1 lead, setting the tone for yet another Florida comeback.
