Oilers' Connor Brown Returning for Cup Final Opener

Edmonton Oilers winger Connor Brown will return for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Florida Panthers after missing two games in the Western Conference Final due to injury and illness. Brown confirmed his readiness following the morning skate, and head coach Kris Knoblauch praised his penalty-killing role. Jeff Skinner, who replaced Brown and scored his first playoff goal in Game 5, is expected to be scratched. The Panthers will be without forward A.J. Greer due to an undisclosed injury. The series is a rematch of last year's final, which Florida won in seven games. Game 1 is scheduled for Wednesday night in Edmonton.
