SUNRISE, Fla. – With tonight’s 2-1 win over the New York Rangers at Amerant Bank Arena, the Florida Panthers have secured their second consecutive Prince of Wales Trophy as Eastern Conference Champions defeating the New York Rangers four games to two. The Panthers will compete in the Stanley Cup Final against either the Dallas Stars or Edmonton Oilers.
Florida defeated the 2023-24 Presidents’ Trophy-winning Rangers led by six points from both Sam Bennett (4-2-6) and Carter Verhaeghe (3-3-6) as well as a cumulative .921 save percentage and 1.89 goals against average from Sergei Bobrovsky, who allowed more than two goals in a game just once in the series. The Panthers became the sixth different franchise in the past 30 years to advance to the Stanley Cup Final in consecutive seasons, and the third team in NHL history to eliminate the Presidents’ Trophy winner in consecutive postseasons.
In Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Panthers defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning four games to one, marking Florida’s first postseason series defeat of their cross-state rival. Verhaeghe (5-4-9) and Matthew Tkachuk (3-6-9) each produced at least one point in all five games of the series. In Round 2, the Panthers edged the Boston Bruins in six games, improving to 3-0 in postseason series against the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Playoffs (also: 1996 ECQF and 2023 Round 1). Aleksander Barkov led all skaters in the series with eight points (3-5-8), including scoring the game-winning goals in Game 2 and Game 4, respectively.
