Florida's Stanley Cup odds are the shortest among the final four, at +120, while Carolina's are +1100. The Panthers have a plus-18 goal differential over their last four road playoff games. This surpasses the 1978 Montreal Canadiens (+17) for the highest goal differential in a span of four road games in Stanley Cup playoffs history. Sam Bennett's nine goals this postseason is his career best for a single playoff year (previous high was seven in 2024). Sergei Bobrovsky authored his third shutout this postseason, which breaks his own franchise record for shutouts in a single playoff year (two in 2024).
