The Edmonton Oilers are trying to take command of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers. After winning a 4-3 epic in overtime in Game 1, the Oilers have a 3-2 lead at the end of an action-packed first period in Game 2 at home on Friday night.
While the Oilers will be thrilled with how they played on the offensive end in the first period of Game 2, it wasn’t without its scares. Late in the period, goaltender Stuart Skinner appeared to be shaken up after a collision with Panthers forward Sam Bennett.

Thankfully for the Oilers, Skinner was able to pop up after a minute and gingerly skate it off before staying in the game.
The play resulted in a goaltender interference call on Bennett despite the fact that it looked like he was pushed into Skinner by Mattias Ekholm, which will be a controversial talking point coming out of this one.
This story will be updated.
