How the Edmonton Oilers Made the Florida Panthers Uncomfortable with a blistering forecheck| Game 2 Preview

In this episode of Locked On Oilers, host Nick Zararis breaks down Game 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, where the Edmonton Oilers pulled off a dramatic overtime win against the Florida Panthers after trailing 3-1. Nick analyzes how the Oilers executed a near flawless game plan, highlighting their effective transition defense, aggressive forecheck, and the physical presence of depth forwards like Kasperi Kapanen and Vasily Podkolzin. He explains why the Oilers’ defense led by Jake Walman and John Klingberg succeeded in withstanding Florida’s heavy forecheck and how Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl’s offense tipped the momentum late in the game.

Nick also explores why the Florida Panthers, despite standout performances from Sam Bennett and Alex Barkov looked unusually uncomfortable under pressure. With Game 2 approaching, he outlines what adjustments Paul Maurice’s team must make including improving puck exits, regaining forecheck efficiency, and limiting the time and space for Edmonton’s stars. Whether you're a fan of the Panthers, the Oilers, or simply a student of playoff hockey strategy, this episode offers a detailed, tactical look at how the 2025 Stanley Cup Final is shaping up.
