The Florida Panthers took down the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday, clinching their second straight championship. Florida dominated the Oilers from start to finish, putting a bow on this title run.

Less than 12 hours after losing to them in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, oddsmakers at a majority of sportsbooks listed the Edmonton Oilers as favorites over the Florida Panthers in the 2026 NHL title series.

The Florida Panthers are back-to-back Stanley Cup champions after a six-game victory against the Edmonton Oilers in a Stanley Cup Final considered an all-time classic. It harbored memories of a unique seven-game Final between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs 80 years ago.
