Stanley Cup Final: Game Six – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Jun 21, 2024

Can the Panthers end this thing tonight? Do the Oilers force a seemingly improbably Game 7? Can anyone slow down Connor McDavid?!? There’s so much drama heading into tonight’s game and the house is going to be rocking in Edmonton. If you love playoff hockey, tonight is the game of the entire year.

Broadcast Info

Puck Drop: 7:00 PM CT
TV: ABC / ESPN+
Radio: NHL Network Radio (Sirius/XM)

Expected Lineups

Florida Panthers

Carter Verhaeghe – Aleksander Barkov – Sam Reinhart
Matthew Tkachuk – Sam Bennett – Evan Rodrigues
Eetu Luostorinen – Anton Lundell – Vladimir Tarasenko
Steven Lorentz – Kevin Stenlund – Kyle Okposo

Gustav Forsling – Aaron Ekblad
Niko Mikkola – Brandon Montour
Oliver Ekman-Larsson – Dmitry Kulikov

🥅 Sergei Bobrovsky

Edmonton Oilers

Warren Foegele – Connor McDavid – Zach Hyman
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – Leon Draisaitl – Dylan Holloway
Mattias Janmark – Adam Henrique – Connor Brown
Ryan McLeod – Derek Ryan – Corey Perry

Mattias Ekholm – Evan Bouchard
Darnell Nurse – Philip Broberg
Brett Kulak – Cody Ceci

🥅 Stuart Skinner

What to Watch For

McDavid isn’t human and everyone on the eyes of everyone on the continent will be on him every single shift. Do the Panthers have an answer? They did for three games and then 97 flipped into god-mode.

Can Bobrovsky bounce back to being the best goaltender in the postseason? He’s been very average for two games after being dominant for three games. He’s a huge key for Florida.

Who plays the hero? Is it chalk — McDavid, Draisaitl, Tkachuk, Bob, Barkov — or does someone else (Mr. Short-Handed, Connor Brown?) who steps up and has his historic moment?

Connor McDavid’s Stanley Cup surge blowing away fellow NHL stars: ‘Somehow, he’s found another level’ https://t.co/kfQakSnU2Z— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) June 21, 2024

What about Drai?

The best playoff performer of his generation, who averaged 10 points per series over last 3 playoff runs, has just two in the Stanley Cup Final.

One big game from Draisaitl and … #Oilers win the Cup?
