Connor McDavid will look to dethrone the Florida Panthers in what could be his final season as a member of the Edmonton Oilers. That’s why the NHL schedule release was highly anticipated to find out when the long-awaited rematch between these two teams would take place.
At the moment, McDavid is at the center of many rumors about his future, as he’s set to become a free agent at the end of the 2025-2026 season. The Oilers’ performance will definitely play a major role in shaping his decision.
On the other side, the Panthers kept their core group intact with Brad Marchand, Aaron Ekblad, and Sam Bennett. The strong work of general manager Bill Zito has positioned them as favorites to make history with a three-peat.
When will Oilers play against Panthers in Stanley Cup rematch?
The Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid will face Brad Marchand and the Florida Panthers on the road on November 22 in their first meeting since the Stanley Cup Final.
The second regular-season matchup between these two teams is scheduled for March 19. By then, the playoff picture will be much clearer following the trade deadline and the aftermath of the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games.
