As the Florida Panthers gear up for their third straight Stanley Cup Final, Matthew Tkachuk shares a strong message about the team's mindset heading into the rematch with the Edmonton Oilers.

Just less than a year later, those two teams are back in the Stanley Cup Final, a rematch between the champion Panthers and the runner-up Oilers that begins with Game 1 at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, TNT, truTV, MAX).

Despite their recent success, alternate team captain Matthew Tkachuk said on Tuesday that the team still sees itself carrying an "underdog role" heading into a finals rematch against the Edmonton Oilers. "Absolutely. We’ll continue riding that underdog role. We have so far," Tkachuk said Tuesday, per ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.
