Move over, Edmonton Oilers power play. The penalty killers are in the spotlight. The Oilers reached their first Stanley Cup final in 18 years in no small measure to a stingy penalty kill that hasn't given up a goal in their last 10 playoff games, and kept a clean sheet in 28 straight short-handed situations. The Oilers and Florida Panthers open the 2024 Stanley Cup final with Saturday's Game 1 in Sunrise, Fla. When Edmonton's vaunted power play went quiet the first four games of the Western Conf

Hockey fans in Edmonton, and far, far away, count down hours until Stanley Cup final
EDMONTON — Hockey fans in Edmonton, and many who are far, far away, are counting down the hours until the Oilers hit the ice this weekend for the beginning of their first Stanley Cup final series in nearly two decades.

Report: Panthers, Reinhart mutually keen on new deal
Sam Reinhart and the Florida Panthers have immediate business to take care of against the Edmonton Oilers, but the two sides continue to have a "strong mutual desire" to get an extension done after the Stanley Cup Final, reports The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.
Reinhart is considered the top unrestricted free agent to potentially hit the open market on July 1. He's coming off his best season, racking up a career-high 57 goals and 94 points, buoyed by an NHL-best 24.5 shooting percentage. Reinhart also has eight goals and four assists in 17 playoff games.
The 28-year-old posted his previous career high of 33 goals in 2021-22. Reinhart averaged 76 points per 82 games in his first two seasons with Florida, recording a 15.5 shooting percentage.
Evolving-Hockey projects Reinhart to sign an eight-year deal with a $11.13-million cap hit if he stays with Florida. That would make him the Panthers' highest-paid player over captain Aleksander Barkov and goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who each make $10 million annually.
The Panthers have several other notable pending UFAs, including Brandon Montour and Vladimir Tarasenko.
Reinhart said in April that he was "not losing sleep" over his looming contract status.
