The Florida Panthers attempted to dictate the pace in the second match of the  Stanley Cup Final and thus, obtained a temporary lead in the best-of-seven clashes.

Four consecutive goals were scored by the Panthers, but Evan Rodrigues became a star of the night, scoring two goals. The Florida Panther achieved that at the Amerant Bank Arena on Monday and in doing so, they beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-1.

Rodrigues also scored in the 3-0 win against Song Lam Nghe An in Saturday’s first leg match also showed his joy. “Striving to live for the present only.” So, in my view, it is two victories for our team, and I believe we have already focused on the Game 3. "

Early in the second half, the Oilers got the lead and scored out first shot on goal. A lovely pass from McDavid at the right time put the puck on the stick of Ekholm, and the defenceman burst through and beat the Panthers’ Sergei Bobrovsky high glove side with a wrist shot.

The Oilers dominated the Panthers with shots on goal, in Game 1 Panthers getting 32-18 shots, but the Oilers failed to convert any of them. But in Monday’s game, roles were switched and the Panthers took the Oilers to cleaners , scoring 22-7 in the first two quarters.

The Panthers were continuously being denied entry to Oilers territory by Oilers goalkeeper Stuart Skinner who reacted to Panthers shot after shot. Nevertheless, Niko Mikkola got his moment in the second period when he fired the puck past the glove hand of Skinner in a one-timer to tie the tally 1-1. After that, the Panthers look to have solved their scoring woes.

Shortly over three minutes into the third period, Rodrigues capitalized on a turnover by Oilers’ defenseman Evan Bouchard, but made a terrible turnover. His shot was tipped by Mattias Ekholm and past the goalie, making the score 2-1 in favor of the Panthers.

On the power-play goal, Rodrigues had something to say about that by asserting the significance of the goal and the altercations it brought to the game. “I believe in the third, we lost that mentality where we took it as power play and forgetting that they apply so much pressure and if we try to put an extra soft move in, it’s never going to happen.”

With those goals, Rodrigues wrote his name in the history books of the Panthers as the first player from the organization to score more than one goal in a Stanley Cup Final game. Later on, Aaron Ekblad sealed the game for the Panther with an empty netter goal to avoid a tied game.

Still, the dramatic moment occurred in the middle of the third period when the Panthers’ captain Aleksander Barkov had to leave the ice after a head hit by Leon Draisaitl of the Oilers. Draisaitl was then called a minor penalty for roughing, and Barkov never returned to the ice.

“That doesn’t always happen. We just have to take it one game at time. Edmonton coach Kris Knoblauch commented on the performance following the game. “I don’t see any reason to panic or do anything drastic … We just have to win the next game.”

After getting shutout in the first game of the series, the Oilers were unable to come up with any offence. By the end of the first two periods they had mustered only seven shots against which tied the record for fewest in the history of the Stanley Cup Final. This time, Edmonton managed to shoot merely 19 times in this game, leading the NHL in the regular season while Bobrovsky made 18 saves.

The Panthers were a miserable 1-8 in the Stanley Cup Finals but they will go to Edmonton with a 2-0 series lead. The third game is set for Thursday night and Florida wants to open an even bigger lead on the others.
