EDMONTON — The CFL has moved the Elks’ season opener against the Saskatchewan Roughriders to an afternoon start to allow sports fans in Edmonton to also watch the Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final.

The game originally scheduled for Saturday at 5 p.m. MT will now start three hours earlier.

Game 1 of the NHL final is scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m. MT in Sunrise, Fla.

The Oilers advanced to their first Stanley Cup final since 2006 with a six-game win over the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference final.

They will face the Florida Panthers, who are in the Cup final for a second straight season after losing in five games to the Vegas Golden Knights last year.
