The team defended its 2024 title against the same opponent in the Edmonton Oilers, sealing the series 4-2 with a barnstorming 5-1 performance at Amerant Bank Arena. After overcoming a few lopsided score lines and edging out Edmonton in the finals series last year, the Panthers seemed to cruise through the Oilers this time.
It's the third time a South Florida professional sports team has given fans back-to-back championships to celebrate, following the Miami Heat's 2012-2013 run and the Miami Dolphins' 1972-1973 seasons.
Panthers fans can buy shirts, jerseys, and other championship merchandise from the team store, Pantherland, at the arena in Sunrise. The shop, which is also online, will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, according to the team's social media.
