Sam Bennett has won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP after leading the Florida Panthers to a second consecutive Stanley Cup championship.

The Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers will meet once again Tuesday evening, with everything on the line heading into Game 6 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final — a potential elimination game. With a victory Tuesday night, the Panthers would clinch their second consecutive Stanley Cup win after securing the franchise’s first last year.

The Panthers now have two titles (2024 and 2025), the same as the Dolphins (1972 and 1973) and the Florida/Miami Marlins (1997 and 2003). They Heat won in 2006, 2012, and 2013.

Bottom-pairing defenseman Nate Schmidt is also set to hit free agency. So is backup goaltender Vitek Vanecek, who has recorded limited playing time and made no postseason appearances since his midseason trade from the San Jose Sharks.

Thanks to a historic four-goal night from Sam Reinhart, the Panthers rolled over the Edmonton Oilers and grabbed a dominant 5-1 win in Game 6 on Tuesday night at Amerant Bank Arena in South Florida. That officially closed out the series 4-2 and gave the Panthers back-to-back titles and their second championship in franchise history.
