The Florida Panthers have implemented a pivotal lineup adjustment in preparation for tonight's decisive Game 7 showdown against the Edmonton Oilers.

Here we go! Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals; it doesn't get better than this.

The excitement is off the charts for the final game of the 2023-24 playoffs, with fans worldwide eagerly anticipating tonight's Stanley Cup winner.

The Panthers have made a pivotal lineup change, aiming to secure victory in front of their fans and avoid joining the NHL's short list of teams to lose a 3-0 lead in the Finals.

This morning, Panthers' head coach Paul Maurice confirmed that veteran Kyle Okposo will replace Nick Cousins in the lineup:

"Okposo in for Cousins, per Maurice.

No other lineup changes."

Okposo, 36, had never reached the Stanley Cup Finals before this year. In a press conference ahead of the game, he shared a heartfelt moment he had with his son about this opportunity to play in a Game 7:

"Kyle Okposo, drawing into Game 7: 'I grabbed my son today, who's eight, and said, 'You know what I was doing when I was your age? I was in the driveway with my Rollerblades on pretending I was in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final. How special is it that you're going to the game?'"

Keep watching for the latest updates on tonight's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
