The 2024 Stanley Cup final, which begins on Saturday evening, should be exciting to watch.

Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid is the NHL’s most talented player, capable of incredible movement at high speed. His teammate Leon Draisaitl is at the forefront offensively, Zach Hyman leads the playoff scoring list, and the accurate Evan Bouchard is the undisputed leader among defensemen in points.

Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov is a dominant player who can play both ways and will try to limit McDavid. Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett are powerful forwards who can score points. Carter Verhaeghe is a powerful scorer. The defense is strong and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky has won the Vezina Trophy twice.

The Panthers, who lost in last season’s final, are seeking their first title and the Oilers their first since 1990.
