The Florida Panthers lost Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Edmonton Oilers in overtime, 4-3. Despite leading 3-1, the Panthers failed to maintain their advantage, a departure from their usual strong game-closing strategy. Edmonton's strong third period, outshooting Florida 14-2, and a power-play goal in overtime secured their victory. The Panthers attributed the loss to failing to effectively maintain possession and pressure, allowing Edmonton to mount a comeback.
