The Florida Panthers are headed back to the Stanley Cup Final, hoping for a different outcome this time.
A year after falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2023 Final, the Panthers defeated the New York Rangers 2-1 to eliminate the Presidents' Trophy winners in six games in the Eastern Conference final.
They will await the winner of the Western Conference final between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers, with Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final scheduled for Saturday night at 8 p.m. ET (ABC, ESPN+) in Florida or Dallas.
