The Florida Panthers clinch back-to-back Stanley Cup titles, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in Game 6. This marks the NHL's first repeat champions since Tampa Bay in 2021. Sam Reinhart shines with four goals, becoming just the fourth player in league history to achieve that feat in a final. Matthew Tkachuk seals the victory with the Cup-winning goal. Sergei Bobrovsky stops 28 of 29 shots, while Vasily Podkolzin scores the Oilers' lone goal in garbage time. The Panthers dominate throughout the postseason, winning 11 of 12 series since Tkachuk's arrival and Paul Maurice's coaching tenure. Bennett leads all scorers with 15 goals and wins the Conn Smythe Trophy. Connor McDavid, despite seven points, remains without a title as Canada’s Cup drought extends to 31 years. The Panthers emerge as a modern-day dynasty, solidifying their status with another championship.
