For the first time in history, the Florida Panthers are Stanley Cup champions.
Florida secured a 2-1 Game 7 thriller on Monday to defeat the Edmonton Oilers. The win staved off a historic collapse after the Oilers rallied from a 3-0 series deficit to tie the series at 3-3.
The first period got off to a scorching start. The Panthers secured the game's first power play on a high-sticking penalty by Warren Foegele less than three minutes in. It didn't directly convert to a power-play goal, but Florida's Carter Verhaeghe broke the scoreless tie seconds after it ended.
