Edmonton is going to fly up the most-games list as this series goes on as well.Game 1 against Florida will be the Oilers’ 300th in the last three years; if the series goes seven games, Edmonton’s 306 games would be the seventh most in a three-year span behind the Panthers, those Dallas and Detroit teams with 309, along with Pittsburgh (2015-16 through 2017-18), Colorado (1999-2000 through 2001-02) and Detroit (1995-96 through 1997-98) with 307 each.

“This last stretch of the last couple of years has been some of the most fun I’ve had playing hockey,” Oilers star Connor McDavid said after the Western Conference final. “I look forward to what’s going to be an exciting month.”The Oilers and Panthers have superstars atop the lineups, but both teams know they got here with depth. Both have had 19 different goal scorers in the playoffs.“That’s what’s been winning us hockey games,” Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl said. “And you need that this time of year.

Strength and conditioning is an everyday thing during the season as well, along with constant advising from nutritionists, a sports science department and others tasked with drawing out the best path to peak performance. The Panthers will be up to about 67,000 air miles logged this season — far more than most NHL teams — after the first two games of the Cup final; they tend to stay in cities after games instead of flying home late at night in order to keep some semblance of a normal sleep schedule.“It is before practice, after practice, every day, so that’s kind of the mindset and culture that we build here,” Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad said. “A lot of guys on this team don’t even drink anymore. It isn’t the old NHL where you have beers after games every game. We can’t afford that because we cannot afford to get behind the eight ball at all during the season. That’s where our team is at now.”
