SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers led 3-0 in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers. But, they lost. Matthew Tkachuk and the stars of the defending champion Panthers smothered the Oilers in the first period.
The Florida Panthers are two wins away from their second straight Stanley Cup title, and star winger Matthew Tkachuk feels the team is worthy of being considered among the greatest of all time.
The Panthers will have their ideal lineup for Game 4 after that same group waxed Edmonton 6-1 this week to take a 2-1 lead in the final.
Brad Marchand is having an incredible postseason for the Panthers, but he is still likely to hit free agency this summer.
