Panthers win Stanley Cup, beating Oilers in six games to repeat as champions

SUNRISE, FLORIDA, JUN 17 – Florida Panthers secured their second straight Stanley Cup with key performances from Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhart, and Matthew Tkachuk, becoming the third team this century to repeat as NHL champions.

  • The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 on Tuesday night, June 17, 2025, to win the Stanley Cup in six games and repeat as champions.
  • Florida became the first team since the 1977-78 Montreal Canadiens to win back-to-back Stanley Cups by beating the same opponent in consecutive finals.
  • Sam Reinhart netted four goals, two of which came into an empty net, while goalie Sergei Bobrovsky made 28 saves in the decisive Game 6 played in Sunrise, Florida.
  • Coach Paul Maurice, who took over in summer 2022, guided the Panthers to 11 wins in 12 playoff series, while Bennett won the Conn Smythe as playoff MVP.
  • The Panthers’ repeat victory suggests a rising dynasty in the NHL and extends Canada’s Stanley Cup drought since Montreal’s last Canadian win in 1993 to 32 years.
