The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Florida Panthers 4-3 in overtime in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Mattias Ekholm, returning from injury, scored his first playoff goal to tie the game. Leon Draisaitl scored twice, including the overtime winner, tying an NHL record for overtime goals in a single playoffs. A controversial goalie interference call led to a Florida power-play goal, but Edmonton's power play ultimately secured the victory. The Oilers overcame a two-goal deficit, marking their third multi-goal comeback win of the postseason.
