The biggest local star in the 2023 Stanley Cup Final is none other than Jack Eichel.
If the Golden Knights lose this series, they will join the Bruins, New Jersey Devils, Tampa Bay Lightning and Dallas Stars as the only teams in the 21st century with multiple Cup Final defeats.The NHL hasn't used traditional No. 1 to No. 8 seeding since the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, but as the second wild card team in the East, the Panthers are the equivalent of a No. 8 seed.
Since the league started its Eastern and Western Conference alignment in the 1993-94 season, seven teams have made the Stanley Cup Final as a No. 7 or No. 8 seed. The most recent example is the 2017 Nashville Predators, who were the second wild card team in the Western Conference and lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Cup Final. The 2012 Kings are the only team in this group that won a title.
Kessel, who was drafted No. 5 overall by the Bruins in 2006, is a role player at this point in his career, and he's had trouble cracking the lineup in the playoffs. He has been a healthy scratch since Game 5 of the first round against the Winnipeg Jets. Kessel was one of only three Golden Knights players who appeared in all 82 regular season games. He is a two-time Stanley Cup winner , so his experience could prove valuable in this series if he gets an opportunity to play.
Cassidy is making his second Stanley Cup Final appearance. His first came with the Bruins in 2019 against the St. Louis Blues. The B's lost in Game 7 at home -- their third loss in four games at TD Garden in the series. It was a crushing defeat for Cassidy, but he now has another chance to finish the job.
