THIRD PERIOD

0.0: The Panthers take a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final with a 4-1 victory in Game 2. Evan Rodrigues is the hero on Monday with two goals, while Edmonton's PK streak of 34 straight kills comes to an end in the defeat. The Oilers will return to home ice for Games 3 & 4 with work to do after only scoring once in the first 120 minutes of the Final.

2:32: ENG for Ekblad. 4-1.

4:54: Ekman-Larsson airs the puck over the glass for a penalty. Edmonton gains a crucial power-play opportunity down two goals and they'll try six-on-four as they look for an answer.

5:53: The Oilers pull Skinner for the extra attacker.

5:53: McDavid can't capitalize on a four-on-four breakaway after Tkachuk provided the back pressure and the stick lift from between his legs.

7:34: Rodrigues redirects it through to break up Edmonton's short-handed streak of 34 straight kills. 3-1 Panthers.

9:28: Barkov takes a high hit from Draisaitl along the boards and it leads to a two-minute roughing penalty and the two-way Panthers' forward exiting the ice for concussion protocol.

16:49: Panthers pull ahead. After intercepting the puck, Bouchard gives it right back to Rodrigues who wrists it past Skinner from inside the left circle for the 2-1 lead.

20:00: The third period is underway!

SECOND PERIOD

0.0: Mikkola scores in the second period to make it 1-1 through 40 minutes, with the Panthers leading 22-7 in shots in Game 2. A pivotal 20 minutes are ahead.

2:10: STUUUUUU! Rodrigues finds Bennett coming in on the weak side and the Oilers netminder comes out to take away a golden opportunity for Florida to take the lead with his best save.

Edmonton kills off their fourth penalty of the game and has now killed off 34 in a row.

3:40: After Nugent-Hopkins hit the crossbar on the expiry of the power play, Verhaeghe comes out of the box and draws a slashing call against Bouchard in the Oilers' zone.

6:05: McDavid breaks up the ice quickly and gets tripped on his way by the skate of Carter Verhaeghe. Edmonton is 0-for-3 so far and can get that Panthers' equalizer back if the man advantage can pull through for the first time this series.

10:26: Florida scores. Lundell drops the puck to Mikkola on the rush and he fires a shot that was on edge over the left pad of Stuart Skinner. 1-1.

10:40: Shots are 14-5 for Florida as we near the midway mark of this Game 2. Both teams haven't been able to generate much offensively.

16:56: Bennett gets a wide-open pass from Stenlund in the slot while shorthanded, but he misses it wide. Each power play hasn't been sharp so far today, with the best chances coming for the penalty-killers.

19:19: Tkachuk gets called for the hook into the hands of Connor Brown as he escaped up the wall with the puck. Edmonton will be heading to the power play in 33 seconds after moving to 33 straight kills.

20:00: The second period is underway!

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers lead 1-0 at the end of a frenetic first period where the hits were near-even and plentiful at 14-13 in favour of Florida, with the big play being a five-minute penalty kill for Edmonton after Foegele was ejected for kneeing. The kill streak can reach 33 in a row on the other side of the intermission with the final 1:14 of a power play for the Panthers left to go.

46.2: Matthew Tkachuk sells an elbowing call against Evan Bouchard to the officials to get a late power play for the Panthers.

2:25: Skinner makes a terrific save off a close chance for Aleksander Barkov to keep it a one-goal lead for the Oilers.

8:43: EKHOLM THROUGH THE FIVE-HOLE ON THE ODD-MAN RUSH! OILERS TAKE THE LEAD! McDavid made the amazing reverse pass to catch Ekholm flying through to create a two-on-one with Leon Draisaitl, electing to take the shot that trickles through the five-hole of Sergei Bobrovsky. 1-0 Oilers.

9:02: Mattias Janmark gets the puck past Oliver Ekman-Larsson in the neutral zone and he's taken down to even it up at 4-on-4 with 3:23 left in Edmonton's major to Warren Foegele.

10:39: A knee-on-knee collision between Foegele and Luostarinen leads to a five-minute major for the Oilers' forward and his ejection from this game. Edmonton has an extended kill coming up as Luostarinen is helped to the dressing room.

Defenceman Darnell Nurse also left to the room earlier in this period for the Oilers after taking a hit in the corner, so they could be down a defenceman and a forward for the rest of this game. For now, they have a five-minute kill ahead of them to deal with first.

11:37: The Oilers aren't able to register a shot on their first man advantage.

13:50: Sam Bennett takes the first penalty of Game 2 after trying to run through Evan Bouchard as he made a breakout pass and interfering with the defenceman. The Oilers went 0-for-3 in Game 1 with the man advantage.

20:00: GAME ON IN GAME 2 OF THE FINAL! Edmonton looking to get back to a split after dropping the opener.

20:00: Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final will begin at 6:20 pm MT.
