The Florida Panthers took a commanding 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers with a 4-1 win in Game 2. The Panthers were led by Evan Rodrigues, who scored twice in the third period to give him three goals in the Final and became the first player in Panthers history with a multiple-goal game in the Stanley Cup Final.
Rodrigues' first goal came after Niko Mikkola tied the score with a one-timer from Anton Lundell, marking only his second playoff goal of his career. Rodrigues then scored on a power play following Leon Draisaitl's roughing penalty against Aleksander Barkov.
The Panthers outshot the Oilers 22-7 through the first two periods and held them to just 19 shots in total, with Sergei Bobrovsky making 18 saves. The Oilers, who led the league with shots on goal during the regular season, struggled offensively.
The Panthers lost Barkov midway through the third period after he took a hit from Draisaitl's elbow to the face and did not return. Draisaitl received a minor penalty for roughing.
The Oilers, who are 1-8 in the Stanley Cup Final, will travel to Edmonton for Games 3 and 4 starting Thursday night.

No formal fallacies found. The author provides a detailed account of the game without making any inflammatory rhetoric or appeals to authority. There are no dichotomous depictions as the author acknowledges both team's performances and strengths. However, there is an example of an informal fallacy: 'The stat that the broadcasts love right now is the Panthers' goal differential across periods in the playoffs: -3 in the first, +8 in the second, and +17 in the third. Not everybody's got a body like them.' This statement presents a correlation between goal differential across periods and overall team performance without providing evidence for a causal relationship.

The author makes several statements in the article that are not fallacious. However, there is one instance of an appeal to authority when the author states 'Bob finished with 18 saves.' This statement implies that the number of saves made by Bobrovsky is significant and therefore he must have played well. While it is true that Bobrovsky made 18 saves, this does not necessarily mean that he played exceptionally well or was a major factor in the Panthers' win. The author could have simply reported the fact without implying any significance.
