The Florida Panthers successfully defended their Stanley Cup title by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in Game 6. This victory marked the Panthers as the NHL's first back-to-back champions since the Tampa Bay Lightning. Key performances included Sam Reinhart, who scored four goals in the game, making history as the first player to achieve this feat in a Cup final since 1957. With this win, the Panthers solidified their status as potential dynasty contenders, having captured 11 of 12 playoff series since initially claiming the Cup.
"This is as good as the first one. We learned some lessons. We stayed on the gas, foot on the pedal, and obviously the result speaks for itself."
"Good evening, South Florida. It feels like we just did this," said Commissioner Gary Bettman before presenting the trophy to team captain Aleksander Barkov.
