2025 - Panthers Seal Second Straight Stanley Cup in Style

The Florida Panthers secured their second consecutive Stanley Cup by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 4–2, capped by a 5–1 Game 6 win on June 17, 2025. Sam Reinhart scored four goals in the finale, while Sam Bennett led the playoffs with 15 goals and earned the Conn Smythe Trophy.

Sergei Bobrovsky shined in goal, and coach Paul Maurice continued his postseason success. Nearly 400,000 fans celebrated at the Fort Lauderdale parade. With key players like Bennett and Tkachuk, the Panthers are now building a legacy of dominance, eyeing a long-term NHL dynasty.
