Stanley Cup Final: Game SEVEN! – Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

Jun 24, 2024

The Stanley Cup will be in the build for a fourth straight game. This time, we know for sure that Gary Bettman will hand it to someone at the end of the game. We’ve got a Game 7, folks! The unbelievable comeback for the Edmonton Oilers isn’t complete, but the Florida Panthers need to find the game that led them to a 3-0 lead in the series somehow. This has become an all-time great Stanley Cup Final, and it ends tonight!

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 – Nick Cousins

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?

Get Caught Up

Incredible: For just the third time in Stanley Cup Final history, a team forced Game 7 after being down 3-0.

Toronto (1942) won
Detroit (1945) lost

Bedlam in Edmonton. See you Monday in Florida.— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 22, 2024
