A bit of history for the Panthers, who lead a Stanley Cup Final for the first time

Associated Press  

SUNRISE, Fla. — This one surely felt different to the Florida Panthers, for a lot of reasons. They led after one period of a Stanley Cup Final game for the first time since 1996. They led a Cup final game by more than one goal for the first time — ever. Sergei Bobrovsky was at a superstar level in net, Carter Verhaeghe and Evan Rodrigues scored, Eetu Luostarinen got an empty-netter with 4.4 seconds left and the Panthers beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-0 on Saturday night in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. “We had some chances to score goals,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said, “and they didn’t go in.” Bobrovsky stopped breakaways, stopped point-blank shots, stopped everything, sometimes without a stick.
