The Florida Panthers made a crucial lineup change ahead of tonight's decisive match against the Edmonton Oilers.
It's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, a highly anticipated event in the 2023-24 playoffs.
The Panthers, aiming to avoid squandering a 3-0 lead in the Finals, will replace Nick Cousins with veteran Kyle Okposo, as confirmed by head coach Paul Maurice.
Okposo, aged 36, is experiencing his first Stanley Cup Finals appearance this year.
Before the game, he shared a heartfelt moment with his son, recalling his childhood dream of playing in a Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
"Kyle Okposo, Game 7 participant: 'Today, I took my eight-year-old son and said, 'Do you know what I was doing when I was your age? I was in the driveway with my rollerblades on, pretending to play in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. How lucky are you to be here for the game!'"
