Rodrigues and Panthers Rally Late to Defeat Oilers in Game 2 Thriller
--
The Florida Panthers secured a commanding 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, thanks to a strong third-period performance from Evan Rodrigues, who scored twice to break a 1-1 tie. The Panthers now lead the series 2-0 and are halfway to their first-ever championship. Sergei Bobrovsky made 18 saves, while Aleksander Barkov left the game due to injury after a hit from Leon Draisaitl. Despite the setback, Rodrigues' power-play goal sealed the victory, ending Edmonton's 34-straight penalty kill streak. Game 3 is set for Thursday in Edmonton. The Oilers struggled offensively, managing just one goal over the first two games of the series. Edmonton will look to bounce back at home, where they must win to stay in the fight for the Cup. Panthers coach Paul Maurice emphasized staying focused, as the team eyes their historic goal.
