Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner had two thoughts when asked about going up against an ‘older goalie' in the Florida Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky for a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final.

Skinner feels he has grown and will look to take the lessons of a Cup Final loss into the rematch. He is 6-4 with a 2.53 goals-against average, .904 save percentage and three shutouts in 10 Stanley Cup Playoff games this season. Last season, he was 14-9 with a 2.45 GAA, .904 save percentage and one shutout in 23 playoff games.

Skinner started the playoffs poorly, but with the Oilers on the verge of the Stanley Cup Final, all is forgotten now.

Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner broke his silence on the first goal the Panthers scored in Game 1, which was full of controversy after he was interfered with.

And in this title series, he’ll likely be matching goalie wits with Stuart Skinner again — the Edmonton netminder who was in goal for last year’s Stanley Cup Final, when Florida topped the Oilers in a seven-game classic. Game 1 is in Edmonton on Wednesday night.

A championship can rewrite the narrative for a goalie’s career, or further cement his place amongst the all-time greats. Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, about to play in his third consecutive Cup Final, has done a bit of both over the last few years.

Game 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final is in the books. The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Florida Panthers by a score of 4-3 in overtime on a goal by Leon Draisaitl, who scored his second goal of the night.

After Tomas Nosek's penalty for putting the puck over the glass, Draisaitl's goal 19:29 into OT sent the home fans into a frenzy.
