Every game is important in a championship round, but Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final seems to be pivotal.
If the Florida Panthers win, they take a commanding 3-1 series lead and would need one more victory to secure their second consecutive Stanley Cup title. If the Edmonton Oilers win, they tie the series and regain home-ice advantage.
The Oilers, who were routed 6-1 in a penalty-filled Game 3, have lost two in a row for the second time in the playoffs. When they did that in the first round, they reeled off four consecutive wins to oust the Los Angeles Kings.
Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch will make two lineup changes, bringing in forward Jeff Skinner and defenseman Troy Stecher. Forward Viktor Arvidsson and defenseman John Klingberg will come out of the lineup. Stuart Skinner will start in net after being pulled in Game 3.

Devils Ranked High for 2026 Stanley Cup Betting Odds
A recent report shows that among major sportsbooks, the New Jersey Devils have the eighth-best odds to win the Stanley Cup this season. ESPN Bet NHL Futures lists the Devils at +1600 to take home the Cup. This follows the 2024-25 season, when New Jersey was eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Carolina Hurricanes, 4–1. The Devils finished the regular season 42-33, ranking 16th in the league and 7th in the Eastern Conference. 2024–25 Playoff ResultsFirst Round Eliminations: Ottawa Senators: Lost to Toronto Maple Leafs (4–2) Tampa Bay Lightning: Lost to Florida Panthers (4–1) Montreal Canadiens: Lost to Washington Capitals (4–1) New Jersey Devils: Lost to Carolina Hurricanes (4–1) St. Louis Blues: Lost to Winnipeg Jets (4–3) Colorado Avalanche: Lost to Dallas Stars (4–3) Minnesota Wild: Lost to Vegas Golden Knights (4–2) Los Angeles Kings: Lost to Edmonton Oilers (4–2) Second Round Eliminations: Toronto Maple Leafs: Lost to Florida Panthers (4–3) Washington Capitals: Lost to Carolina Hurricanes (4–1) Winnipeg Jets: Lost to Dallas Stars (4–2) Vegas Golden Knights: Lost to Edmonton Oilers (4–1) Conference Final Eliminations: Carolina Hurricanes: Lost to Florida Panthers (4–1) Dallas Stars: Lost to Edmonton Oilers (4–1) Stanley Cup Final: Edmonton Oilers: Lost to Florida Panthers (4–2) Stanley Cup Champions: Florida Panthers Sportsbook Odds for 2025–26 Stanley Cup Winner ESPN Bet: Florida Panthers +600 Carolina Hurricanes +800 Colorado Avalanche +800 Edmonton Oilers +850 Vegas Golden Knights +850 Dallas Stars +1000 Tampa Bay Lightning +1400 New Jersey Devils +1600 FanDuel: Florida Panthers +700 Carolina Hurricanes +750 Vegas Golden Knights +850 Edmonton Oilers +850 Dallas Stars +900 Colorado Avalanche +950 Tampa Bay Lightning +1300 New Jersey Devils +1900 BetMGM: Florida Panthers +750 Edmonton Oilers +800 Colorado Avalanche +800 Vegas Golden Knights +850 Carolina Hurricanes +900 Dallas Stars +1000 Tampa Bay Lightning +1600 New Jersey Devils +1800 Why New Jersey Is Still in the Top 8 Despite last year's early exit, the Devils' projected 2025–26 roster has both high-end talent and depth. Stars like Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, Dawson Mercer, and Luke Hughes lead the way, supported by veterans Dougie Hamilton and Jacob Markstrom. Offseason additions Connor Brown and Evgenii Dadonov strengthen the bottom six, while continued development on defense and improved even-strength scoring are expected to boost the team's performance. If the Devils stay healthy, particularly Jack Hughes, maintain a solid goaltending rotation, and tighten their defensive identity, they could make a deep playoff push. Heading into the new season, they remain 8th in the league in Stanley Cup odds. Photo Credit: © Jerome Miron-Imagn Images

Oilers' Connor McDavid predicted to follow contract path of 'players like this'
Oilers' Connor McDavid predicted to follow contract path of 'players like this' originally appeared on The Sporting News All eyes are on Connor McDavid. The best player on the planet is entering the final year of his contract with the Edmonton Oilers. Will he sign a contract extension, or will he reach free agency? That's one of the stories of the NHL season, at least until McDavid makes up his mind on the matter. McDavid will be expected to sign the biggest annual average annual value contract in NHL history, although whether it's eight years or fewer is also under question. Oilers fans got one reassuring bit of analysis on Monday. Bleacher Report's Adam Gretz wrote that he predicts Edmonton and McDavid to reach an extension agreement. Here's why: "Until pen gets put to paper, there will be plenty of discussion and speculation about what Connor McDavid's future is going to be and what is going through his mind. But it's all going to be for nothing as he will eventually get a new contract extension to keep him in Edmonton for at least some time. It may not be a max-term deal, which would certainly spark some discussion as to his long-term feelings on the Oilers and the way they have built their team around him, but there is no chance he ends up getting to the unrestricted free agent market. You can dream about it. It's not happening. He will sign a new deal at some point. Players like this do not get to the open market. They just don't." MORE: Connor McDavid has $45 million reason to look forward to contract negotiations The Oilers are expected to have $45 million in open contract space next offseason, so there won't be much excuse for not giving McDavid something between $16-20 million per year. It'll be a high-octane negotiation season with Jack Eichel and Kirill Kaprizov also lined up for free agency from the Golden Knights and Wild, respectively. McDavid will top the market. He will turn 29 years old in January. He's coming off an 100-point season in which he had 26 goals and 74 assists in just 67 games. In his career, he has played 712 games and put up 1,082 points, broken down between 36 goals and 721 assists. McDavid has led the NHL in points in five separate seasons and in assists in four separate campaigns. This is the best player in the world, and he'll get the contract to match. The Oilers remain in the driver's seat, but that won't stop other teams from circling. Stay tuned, because this story will stay big until something gets done.

From The Archives: Playoff Winner: Nicklas Lidstrom
The Hockey News has released its archive to all THN subscribers: 76 years of history, stories, and features. Subscribe now to view the full THN Archives here Also, go to to subscribe. Detroit Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom became the first European to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The 11th-year rear-guard from Vasteras, Sweden was a force on the Red Wings' blueline averaging more than 30 minutes during 23 playoff games. Detroit beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 in the Stanley Cup final after earlier series victories over Vancouver, St. Louis and post-series announcement by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman that Lidstrom had won the Smythe caught some observers by surprise. Detroit captain Steve Yzerman was expected to win. (The award is voted upon by 15 members of the media.)Whether the award was expected or not, Lidstrom was full value for the honor. His soft-spoken nature and often unassuming controlled play on the ice doesn't always cast him in the it's his quiet effectiveness and on-ice poise that prompted coach Scotty Bowman to have him on the ice more than half the game. 'He was just about a perfect player,' Bowman said. 'It's really a wonderful tribute to him.' One reason why the Hurricanes were unable to generate an attack was the presence of Lidstrom on the Detroit defense. He's equally distributing and shooting the puck as he is neutralizing the opposition. 'Nick is quiet,' said Yzerman during the Stanley Cup celebration, 'but he's also the best player I've ever played with.' The Wings' third-round draft choice in 1989, Lidstrom has been a part of all three Detroit Cup victories - one of 10 players to have sipped from the Cup during the six-year period. 03 Lidstrom could win his second consecutive Norris Trophy this season, but he'll have to beat out teammate Chris Chelios and Colorado Rob Blake for the honor. And Lidstrom is sure to add to his resume of having been named an NHL first team all-star four times. '1 think it makes it even sweeter being named the first European,' Lidstrom said. 'We have lots of Europeans on our team that could have won it, but it's nice to be the first.' "I was really surprised. I wasn't even thinking about it, really. I'm more happy about winning another Cup, but winning the Conn Smythe is really an honor I'll never forget.'
