Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid won the Stanley Cup Final MVP on Monday despite losing the series. He joins these NHL players in doing the same.

Panthers fans celebrated their team’s first Stanley Cup championship by throwing fake rats onto the ice. Here’s why.

The Florida Panthers have gone from runners-up to champions.

The Florida Panthers avoided blowing a 3-0 series lead, beating the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 in Game 7 on Monday to win their first ever Stanley Cup.

The deciding Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final will be played Monday night in Florida, where the Panthers host the Edmonton Oilers. Florida won the first three games only to see Edmonton storm back and stave off elimination three times to knot the series.

It’s very simple for the Florida Panthers now. Win on Monday, and you’re Stanley Cup champions. Lose on Monday, and you’re the first team since World War II to blow a 3-0 lead in hockey’s title series.

The Edmonton Oilers aren’t the first team in the NHL to fight back from 3-0 down in a best-of-seven series to force a deciding contest. This is the 10th time it has happened in 211 opportunities in NHL history and the first in 10 years.

The Oilers have erased a 3-0 series deficit to force the first Stanley Cup Final Game 7 since 2019.

The 2024 Stanley Cup Final was once a 3-0 series. Now, it’s going to a Game 7.
