On Tuesday, the Florida Panthers became back-to-back Stanley Cup champions, defeating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 at home, 5-1.

In their first playoff game as defending champions, the Panthers scored early and often. Matthew Tkachuk had three points in his first game since missing more than two months because of an injury and Nate Schmidt scored twice. Florida got three power-play goals and Sergei Bobrovsky made 20 saves for a 1-0 series lead.

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.
