The Florida Panthers are one win away from their first Stanley Cup championship and can clinch it Saturday night in Game 4 in Edmonton.
Anticipation? Yes, but also cue the clichés.
"It's there for us but you don't think about it," captain Aleksander Barkov said. "All you have to do is take one moment at a time."
The Edmonton Oilers have a big task ahead if they're going to come back from a 3-0 deficit.
"I can bring out all of the clichés about one game at a time and all that good stuff, but that's really what it is," Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm said. "Through three games, have we deserved to win a game? I think so. I think we've played at least two pretty good games. It hasn't happened for us."
The Oilers will try to avoid being the first team since the 1998 Washington Capitals to be swept in the Stanley Cup Final. Here's what to know about Game 4:
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
Game 4 will be shown nationally on ABC in the United States. It will be shown on Sportsnet and CBC in Canada.
Game 4 can be streamed on ESPN+ and Fubo.
