The Panthers have struggled to close out teams on their first chance and hope to avoid a second straight Stanley Cup Game 7 as they look to put away the Oilers on Tuesday and win their second straight Cup.

While gearing up for a crucial Game 6 back on home ice, Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov sent a clear memo to the locker room, including Matthew Tkachuk and Brad Marchand, about the upcoming battle with the Edmonton Oilers.

Star forward Matthew Tkachuk worked hard to return from his injury just in time for this Panthers playoff run.

USA Hockey announced the first six representatives from the team it will take to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

With the Panthers one win away from capturing a second consecutive Stanley Cup, Tkachuk said he's had "some ups and downs" but is feeling the best he's ever felt ahead of Game 6 against the Edmonton Oilers.
