Bruce Boudreau revealed what the Edmonton Oilers need to do to get back in the series as they take on game three with a 2-0 deficit against the Florida Panthers.

After a 15-year coaching career in the NHL, Boudreau is now an analyst for TSN and his insights are often relevent and interesting.

He recently opened up about the Oilers' current situation and what the team needs to do to get back on track in the Stanley Cup Finals.

According to him, the Oilers simply need to shoot more and win their battles:

"Well, it's pretty easy for me to outline the blueprint: we need to change a few things. First of all, they have to shoot more and get pucks inside. They've got to win the one-on-one battles. I know this all sounds almost archaic, as if we talked about this in the sixties, seventies, and eighties, but ultimately, this is what you have to do: win those one-on-one battles, get to the front of the net, and shoot pucks.

It sounds easier than it actually is, but that's what they've got to do. If you look at what they've done, they had the fewest shots of any team in the finals after two periods in the last game�they had ten shots against in their last series, game six against Dallas. They've got to get to the puck and shoot it. They're trying to be too cute, too fancy. We talk about this all the time: Don't be cute. Shoot the puck at the net, get to the net, win the battles, and that's the blueprint for their success.

I think if they want to succeed in this series, that's what they need to do."

With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl being limited to only one point, they'll need to take things into their own hands and hope to find a way to beat Sergei Bobrovsky.

If they're not careful, the Panthers could return to Florida with a Stanley Cup in the plane.

Do you agree with Bruce Boudreau about what the Oilers need to do to get back in the series against the Florida Panthers?
