The Panthers beat the Oilers in seven games to capture their first-ever title last June. This year they did it in six games

The Florida Panthers repeated as Stanley Cup champions by beating the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in Game 6 of the final on Tuesday night, becoming the NHL’s first back-to-back winners since Tampa Bay in 2020 and ’21 and the third team to do it this century.

The Edmonton Oilers are the bridesmaids yet again, and not the brides. The Florida Panthers won The Stanley Cup on Tuesday in Game Six in Florida, in a commanding effort against an Oilers club that had no answers.
