As the Edmonton Oilers head back to Alberta for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers are preparing for their journey to the other side of the continent. The Panthers will depart from South Florida on Wednesday, enjoying an extra day of rest before embarking on a 2,543-mile flight to Edmonton.
The NHL has wisely scheduled two days between Games 2 and 3, recognizing the significant distance between the two teams in this final, the furthest in NHL history. This break ensures a fair playing field for both teams as they gear up for Game 3 in Edmonton on Thursday.
