End to end action on Play Alberta as puck drops on Stanley Cup Final

It’s the same story all over again for the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. For the first time in 16 years, a rematch of the Stanley Cup Finals is on tap when it gets underway on June 4. Edmonton (1.80/-125) is hoping to repeat what the Pittsburgh Penguins did in 2009 and flip the result from the previous year. The Florida Panthers (2.00/+100) look to become the first team to repeat since the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 – 2021.

“As exclusive sports betting partner of OEG Sports and Entertainment, it’s thrilling to see the Edmonton Oilers continue to have success this post season and return to the Stanley Cup Final for a second straight year. Throughout the championship series, Play Alberta will be giving players competitive markets, boosted odds and a chance to win their way into home games, along with unique memorabilia at watch parties at the Play Alberta Fan Park and on Play Alberta’s social media channels.”
