This has been a different final than many in the recent past, in part because there’s no underdog in it who no one expected to get this far, the opponents know each other well and the teams are nearly at full strength.

That may be true, but the Oilers haven’t made many defensive changes in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So, the fact that they may be changing their pairs for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers on Monday (8 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC) is going to draw some attention.
