Zach BacharMay 31, 2025

The Florida Panthers will reportedly have two key contributors healthy as the team looks to win the Stanley Cup for a second consecutive year.

Panthers coach Paul Maurice announced Saturday that forwards Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen will be ready for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, via Field Level Media (h/t ESPN).

Both Lundell and Luostarinen suffered injuries in Florida's 5-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Luostarinen left after the first period of the Panthers' series-clinching victory, crashing into the boards following a missed check on Hurricanes left winger Taylor Hall. He was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game.

It's unclear when Lundell suffered his injury, but he didn't participate in practice on Saturday.

Both players are expected to suit up against the Edmonton Oilers, although the status of forward A.J. Greer is uncertain due to a lower body injury.

"I think the only question mark is Greer," Maurice said Saturday, via ESPN. "We will list him as day to day. The other guys are fine. They will be back on the ice tomorrow when we do a little bit of an optional."

Lundell is in the midst of his fourth season with the Panthers, recording 17 goals and 28 assists in 79 regular-season games. He's served as an important piece in Florida's third line during the playoffs, racking up 12 points in 17 postseason games.

Luostarinen has also stepped up for the Panthers during their 2025 playoff run, amassing four goals and nine assists in his 17 playoff appearances.

Game 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final will be on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
