How to Watch Panthers vs Oilers – Game 2Start Date: Friday, June 6, 2025Time: 8:00 PM ETTV Channel: TNT, truTVLive Stream: Sling (WATCH)

Leon Draisaitl was the hero in Game 1, scoring just over a minute into the first period, before following it up with a game-winning goal in overtime. The defending champions must find a way to slow down the duo of Draisaitl and Connor McDavid in Game 2, or the series could be heading to Florida with the Oilers holding a commanding 2-0 lead.

The Panthers scored three unanswered goals after Draisaitl’s early score, but Edmonton can put up points in a hurry, and quickly responded, and were able to even the score before the final buzzer.

With the Oilers being so hard to contain on the offensive end, Florida’s best bet in Game 2 is to blitz them when they gain possession, as the most effective way to beat Edmonton is simply by outscoring them in a shootout. The Oilers are vulnerable on defense, and the Panthers must find a way to take advantage.

This is a great Stanley Cup Finals matchup that you do not want to miss; tune into TNT with Sling to catch all the action.
