Despite their success, the Panthers are now facing a serious challenge coming into game 3 as Emily Kaplan had recent revealed that the Panthers have officially taken off for Edmonton. With that being said the Panthers will have far less rest time before game 3 putting them at a huge disadvantage.
"Hearing the Panthers plane just took off after several delays in South Florida. They won't get into Edmonton until Wednesday night.
Thursday has an early puck drop, 6:20 MT.
The Oilers flew Tuesday and will get two full nights at home ahead of Game 3."
This Stanley Cup finals has been the longest travel distance between the two teams, with the trip being over 2,500 miles. Without a doubt the Florida Panthers will still be working through jet lag by the time they hit the ice.
