Will the Oilers go down 0-2 in NHL 24?
With Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals set to be played tonight we booted up NHL 24 and simulated the game to see if the Oilers could tie the series or if Florida would jump out to a 2-0 series lead.
Our series simulation predicted Florida winning the Stanley Cup in seven games.
Florida were able to make the most of home ice advantage in this simulation and take the game 3-2, putting them up 2-0 in the series.
We left Evander Kane in the lineup despite questions over his health and inserted Sam Carrick for Corey Perry. We left Florida's lines the same as Game 1.

The Panthers got two goals from Carter Verhaeghe and the game winner from Aleksander Barkov. Verhaeghe, Barkov, and Same Reinhart all had two points.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Warren Foegele scored for Edmonton, with Zach Hyman and Connor McDavid adding assists.
Neither goalie faced many shots but both made big saves. Skinner allowed three goals on 17 shots, while Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 11 shots.
