 < 2023Stanley Cup Finals 

The 2024 Stanley Cup Finals is the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 2023–24 season and the culmination of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs. The series is being contested between the Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers and the Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers. The series began on June 8, with a possible seventh game scheduled for June 24.[1] The Panthers have home ice advantage in the series as the team with the better regular season record. This is the fifth consecutive Finals to feature a team from the state of Florida.[2] This is the furthest distance between two cities in NHL history for the Finals with 4,089 kilometres (2,541 miles), breaking the previous record of 4,023 kilometres (2,500 miles) by the Vancouver Canucks and Boston Bruins in 2011.[3] This is the first Finals since 1945 to feature a team forcing a seventh game after being down 3–0.[4]

Paths to the Finals[]

Edmonton Oilers[]

Main article: 2023–24 Edmonton Oilers season

This is Edmonton's eighth Finals appearance. They have won the Stanley Cup five times, all of which came between 1984 and 1990 during their dynasty years.[5] They lost their most recent Finals appearance in 2006, against the Carolina Hurricanes in seven games.[6]

During the offseason, the Oilers acquired forward Connor Brown and defenceman Ben Gleason via free agency.[7][8] They also re-signed forward Mattias Janmark.[9] The team started the season poorly, going 3–9–1 before firing head coach Jay Woodcroft and replacing him with Kris Knoblauch. The team rebounded greatly finishing with a 46–18–5 record under Knoblauch.[10] Edmonton then signed free agent Corey Perry during the season, after Perry's existing contract with the Chicago Blackhawks was terminated for misconduct.[11][12] Nearing the trade deadline, the team acquired centres Sam Carrick and Adam Henrique via a three-way trade;[13] they also acquired defenceman Troy Stecher.[14]

Captain Connor McDavid led the team in scoring with 132 points.[15] 100 of those points were assists, making him the fourth NHL player to record at least 100 assists in a season, the most recent being Wayne Gretzky in 1990–91.[16] Perry is making his fifth Finals appearance, previously winning with the Anaheim Ducks and losing with the Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, and Tampa Bay Lightning; this makes him the first player to play in the Stanley Cup Finals for five different teams.[17]

The Oilers finished the regular season with 104 points via a 49–27–6 record, which gave them second place in the Pacific Division. In the first round of the playoffs, the Oilers defeated one of their rivals, the Los Angeles Kings, in five games.[18] Edmonton then gained a seven-game victory against the Vancouver Canucks in the second round.[19] They then defeated the Dallas Stars in six games in the conference finals.[20]

Florida Panthers[]

Main article: 2023–24 Florida Panthers season

This is the second consecutive and third overall Finals appearance for the Panthers. They lost both previous Finals appearances, being swept in four games in 1996 by the Colorado Avalanche and losing in five games to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2023.[21]

During the offseason, the Panthers signed defencemen Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Dmitry Kulikov, forward Evan Rodrigues, and goaltender Anthony Stolarz in free agency.[22][23][24] They also re-signed Eetu Luostarinen and traded for Steven Lorentz.[25][26] At the trade deadline, the team acquired Vladimir Tarasenko, Magnus Hellberg, and Kyle Okposo.[27][28][29] They also acquired Tobias Bjornfot via waivers.[30] They also re-signed Gustav Forsling shortly before the trade deadline.[31]

Sam Reinhart led the team in scoring with 57 goals and 94 points.[32]

The Panthers finished first in the Atlantic Division with 110 points via a 52–24–6 record. In the first round, they defeated their intra-state rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in five games.[33] In the second round, they won in six games against the Boston Bruins in a rematch from the previous season's first round.[34] In the Eastern Conference final, they faced the New York Rangers, who had won the Presidents' Trophy by having the best regular season record, and defeated them in six games.[35]

During the first period of game two, Edmonton forward Warren Foegele kneed Panthers forward Eetu Luostarinen, resulting in a match penalty as well as a game misconduct for Foegele.[40] Luostarinen continued to play in the game.[40] Whilst on the subsequent five-minute power play, defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson was penalized for tripping, resulting in a four-on-four, during which an Oilers rush resulted in their first shot from Mattias Ekholm going past goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky for a 1–0 lead.[41][42] In the second period, Niko Mikkola tied the game for the Panthers, taking a drop-pass from Anton Lundell and snapping a shot past Edmonton goaltender Stuart Skinner.[43] In third period, Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues broke the tie, picking off a clearing attempt by Oilers defenceman Evan Bouchard to put the puck past Skinner for a 2–1 lead.[44] With less than ten minutes in the game, Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl was called for roughing and on the ensuing power play, Lundell passed to Rodrigues, who scored again to give the Panthers a 3–1 lead and end Edmonton's streak of 34 consecutive penalty kills.[45] The Oilers then brought on an extra attacker, but Aaron Ekblad scored into the empty net for the Panthers, sealing a 4–1 victory for Florida.[46][47]

The Oilers began the scoring in the first period of game six, with centre Leon Draisaitl passing to right wing Warren Foegele who snapped the puck past Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.[73] Florida was limited to only two shots in the first period. In the second period, Mattias Ekholm sent a stretch pass to Mattias Janmark, who then passed to Adam Henrique; Henrique subsequently beat Bobrovsky with a wrist shot for a 2–0 Oilers lead.[74] Ten seconds later, the Panthers had a goal by Aleksander Barkov disallowed when replay showed Sam Reinhart was offside on the play.[75] Zach Hyman then made it 3–0 for Edmonton when he scored backhand on a breakaway chance.[76] The Panthers were able to get on the board in the third period when Barkov dangled the puck around goaltender Stuart Skinner.[77] The Oilers held off the Panthers for the remainder of the game, with Ryan McLeod and Darnell Nurse each scoring an empty net goal for a 5–1 victory. Edmonton became the third NHL team to force a seventh game in the Finals after trailing 3–0, and the first since the Detroit Red Wings did so in 1945.[4]

Sam Reinhart (pictured with the Buffalo Sabres) scored the Cup-winning goal in game seven.

In game seven, the Panthers began the scoring when forward Evan Rodrigues shot towards the goal, with Carter Verhaeghe deflecting the puck past Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner.[78] Oilers forward Mattias Janmark then tied the game, scoring on the breakaway after receiving a stretch pass from defenceman Cody Ceci.[79] In the second period, after a narrow save by Bobrovsky got the puck to Florida in the corner, Verhaeghe passed the puck to forward Sam Reinhart, who fired a wrist a shot past Skinner for a 2–1 lead.[80] The Panthers defended their lead into the third period, with goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky stopping the remaining nine shots to win their first Stanley Cup.[81]

Edmonton captain Connor McDavid was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the playoffs, becoming the first player since Jean-Sebastien Giguere in 2003 (and sixth overall) to win the Conn Smythe as part of the losing team, and joining Reggie Leach in 1975 as the only skaters to do so.[81]

Media rights[]

In Canada, this was the tenth consecutive Stanley Cup Finals broadcast by Sportsnet and CBC Television in English, and TVA Sports in French.[1] The series was also streamed on Sportsnet+, but was not available on CBC Gem like in previous years.[91]

In the United States, the series was being televised on ABC and streamed on ESPN+.[1] This was the third year of a seven-year deal in which ABC/ESPN+ will show the Finals in even years and TNT/Max will televise the series in odd years.[92][93]

For the first time, the Finals were broadcast with commentary and analysis in American Sign Language for the benefit of the Deaf community on both ESPN+ and Sportsnet+.[94][95]

Victory parade[]

On June 30, 2024, the Florida Panthers victory parade in Fort Lauderdale, Florida saw hundreds of thousands turnout, despite heavy rain.[96][97]
