The Florida Panthers have officially clinched their berth back to the Stanley Cup Final, and the Edmonton Oilers are just one win away from securing the rematch.
The Oilers will travel back to Dallas for their Game 5 opportunity to eliminate the Stars, missing star forward Zach Hyman. If they can win, the Stanley Cup Final schedule is set.
Oilers insider reveals Stanley Cup Final Schedule if Edmonton wins Game 5
According to new reports from Oilers insider Jason Gregor, if the Oilers win in Game 5, the Stanley Cup Final is set to begin on Wednesday, June 4th.
Gregor also revealed the full set of dates for both possible start dates. The NHL will want to avoid conflicts with the NBA finals, which can serve as a guide.
Additionally, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported that no matter what, the Stanley Cup Final will begin by June 7th at the latest.
It seems that no matter what, the NHL wants a more extended break than usual between series before the Cup Final begins.
Stage is set for Oilers rematch with Florida Panthers
If the Oilers are able to make it back to the Cup Final, they now know it will be a rematch against the team that handed them the worst loss of their careers.
For all the talk that the Oilers have been more motivated than ever this season to win the Cup, they'll now be more motivated than ever. To climb Mount Everest and achieve their dream, the Oilers will have to beat a borderline dynasty team in their rival Florida Panthers.
