That may be true, but the Oilers haven’t made many defensive changes in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So, the fact that they may be changing their pairs for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers on Monday (8 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC) is going to draw some attention.

The second consecutive Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers has been about as even as a series can get through two games, with each winning one in overtime.

Home-ice advantage can be a fickle friend in the NHL playoffs. Finish the 82-game regular season with a better record than your opponent and, voila, you get to open and potentially close the best-of-7 game series in your own town.
