For the second straight season, the Florida Panthers are NHL playoff champions.
The Panthers won their second straight Stanley Cup tonight, defeating the visiting Edmonton Oilers by a 5-1 count. The Panthers won the best-of-seven series in six games, a year after besting Edmonton in seven contests in the 2024 final, with both clinching contests coming at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Fla.
This year's Panthers roster included several former NCAA players in A.J. Greer (Boston University), Evan Rodrigues (Boston University), Mackey Samoskevich (Michigan), Nate Schmidt (Minnesota) and Nico Sturm (Clarkson).
Edmonton was seeking its first Stanley Cup since 1990, and the first by a Canadian-based NHL club since 1993. Florida, which entered the league in 1993-94, was skating in its third NHL final overall, having first played for the Cup in 1996.
