Aleksander Barkov Records Two Power-Play Assists Thursday

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov opened his 2025 Stanley Cup Finals scoring account with two assists in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Barkov's helpers came in the first period on power-play goals by Matthew Tkachuk. The Panthers captain has had a limited role in the attack, as he has been tasked with slowing down Connor McDavid in the Finals. However, Barkov has enjoyed a solid postseason overall, scoring six goals and 19 points in 21 outings. He is also averaging a block per game and has dished out 49 hits.

Sam Reinhart Collects Three Points in Thursday's Loss

Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart recorded a second consecutive multi-point game in the Stanley Cup Finals in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. He picked up a pair of first-period assists, including one on the power play, and sent the game into overtime with only 20 seconds left in regulation. After going scoreless in seven of nine games, Reinhart has broken his offensive slump in style, accumulating five points (two goals, three assists) over the past two contests. While Reinhart has slowed down during the latter half of the postseason, he is still nearly averaging a point per game, with six goals and 12 assists across 19 appearances.

Matthew Tkachuk Notches Three Points in Losing Effort

Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk tallied two goals and an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. He scored both goals on the power play in the first period, leading the charge as Florida jumped to a 3-0 lead. Tkachuk, who had managed only two points over the first three matchups against Edmonton, capped off his three-point night with an assist in the third period when Sam Reinhart tied the game with only 20 seconds remaining in regulation. Florida has had nine players score 15 or more points this postseason, with Tkachuk leading the group with 21 points, along with Sam Bennett. He has recorded seven goals and a team-high 14 assists.

Sergei Bobrovsky Heading Out for Win No. 15

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will aim to stretch his winning streak in the Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers to three games on Thursday night. The veteran shot-stopper suffered a 4-3 overtime defeat in Game 1 of the series but has since finished on the winning side in back-to-back games. Bobrovsky was outstanding in Monday's 6-1 Game 3 victory, making 32 saves. Overall, he has already recorded 116 saves against the Oilers, which is tied for the second-most saves through three games of a Stanley Cup Finals series. Bobrovsky's performance has been a key factor in Florida's success in the postseason, as he boasts a 14-6 record while allowing an average of 2.16 goals with a .916 save percentage and three shutouts.

Evan Rodrigues Extends Scoring Streak with Multi-Point Effort

Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues finished Monday's 6-1 triumph against the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals with two points. He assisted Carter Verhaeghe on the game-winning goal and completed the scoring himself. Rodrigues notched both of his points on the power play. Monday's prolific performance gives Rodrigues a four-game point streak. He has reached peak form at just the right moment, and his stretch of one point in the first seven games of the postseason has been entirely forgotten. Sitting on 15 points (two goals, 13 assists) through 18 appearances, Rodrigues now only needs to add one more point to his total to set a new scoring record for a single postseason campaign.

Sam Reinhart Collects Two Points in Monday's Win

Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart registered a goal and an assist in Monday's one-sided 6-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The 29-year-old scored Florida's third goal early in the second period and completed his multi-point outing with a power-play assist in the fourth. This gave Reinhart the same number of points he had managed over his previous five outings. For the playoffs, Reinhart boasts 15 points (five points, 10 assists) in 18 appearances. His production has fallen off late in the postseason. Fortunately for the Panthers, several other players have raised their performance, and the defending champions now lead the series against Edmonton 2-1.

Sam Bennett Sets New Franchise Record with Four-Game Goal Streak

Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett notched the team's fourth goal in Monday's big 6-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers, becoming the first player in franchise history to score in four consecutive playoff games. Bennett's night included a team-high six hits and 14 penalty minutes. The Panthers have received outstanding production from Bennett throughout the postseason, as the 28-year-old has scored 14 goals and 20 points in 20 games. Strangely, he has scored only two home goals in the playoffs. Bennett has the chance to add to this total in Game 4 when the teams face off again in Sunrise on Thursday night.

Brad Marchand Nets Another Finals Goal

Florida Panthers left wing Brad Marchand scored for the third consecutive game as the team whipped the Edmonton Oilers 6-1 in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Monday night. The veteran forward opened the scoring less than a minute into the game, hitting his eighth goal of the postseason. Only Matthew Tkachuk (11) and Dave Lowry (10) have managed more goals during their first playoff campaign with the Panthers. Florida has hit the jackpot with the acquisition of Marchand, who has been one of the team's best players this postseason. With 20 games played, Marchand boasts 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) and 32 hits while carrying a plus-15 rating.

A.J. Greer Returns to Panthers Lineup Monday

Florida Panthers left wing A.J. Greer (lower body) has been cleared to play in Monday's Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers. Greer's return will push Jesper Boqvist out of the lineup. In the 2025 playoffs, Greer has formed an impactful fourth line with Jonah Gadjovich and Tomas Nosek. He has scored two goals and three points in 12 appearances while averaging 3.75 hits per game. The Panthers have lost only two postseason games this year with Greer in the lineup, making the 28-year-old somewhat of a talisman for the team despite his limited role.

Overall, Bennett has netted 13 goals in the playoffs, so he truly seems to thrive in the intense and intimidating road atmosphere. The 28-year-old, who is a pending unrestricted free agent, leads the Panthers with 19 points (13 goals, six assists) in 19 postseason contests, doing everything he can to secure a juicy contract for next season.

Sergei Bobrovsky Looks to Return to Winning Ways Friday

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will make his 19th start of the postseason in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers on Friday night. The former Vezina Trophy winner kicked off the Final with a solid performance, stopping 42 shots, though he suffered a 4-3 overtime defeat in Game 1. Bobrovsky has lost two of his last three starts, which has dropped his playoff record to 12-6. He has posted a 2.17 goals-against average with a .912 save percentage. The Panthers have only lost back-to-back games once this postseason, so Bobrovsky appears well-positioned to return to winning ways on Friday.

A.J. Greer Remains Out Friday

Florida Panthers left wing A.J. Greer (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers. The fourth-line grinder was injured late in the Eastern Conference Finals and must wait for his chance to play against the Oilers due to a lower-body injury. Jesper Boqvist is expected to continue filling in for Greer. The Swedish forward experienced some success in a top-line role earlier in the postseason but was quiet on the fourth line in Game 1 against Edmonton. He logged 7:58 of ice time, finishing with one hit.

Nate Schmidt Logs Pair of Helpers Wednesday

Florida Panthers defenseman Nate Schmidt helped out on the offensive end with two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The 33-year-old ended a seven-game point drought by assisting Brad Marchand on a power-play goal and Sam Bennett during an even-strength situation. Schmidt's recent efforts on the attacking end have not been good, but he is on the verge of becoming the 11th Panther this postseason with double-digit points. Through 18 appearances, Schmidt has registered nine points (three goals, six assists), along with 19 shots, 15 blocks, and 28 hits.

Carter Verhaeghe Registers Two Assists In Game 1 Loss Against Oilers

Florida Panthers forward Carter Verhaeghe recorded two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Florida's second line spearheaded the team's offense on the night, with Verhaeghe picking up both of his assists on goals by Sam Bennett. The 29-year-old logged his fifth multi-point game of the postseason. Although Verhaeghe has been inconsistent in his offensive production, his haul of 16 points (six goals, 10 assists) in 18 games makes him Florida's fourth-highest scorer. In last year's Finals against the Oilers, Verhaeghe tallied only four points and must be eager to improve his output this time around.

Sam Bennett Establishes New Franchise Record with 12 Postseason Goals

Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett lit the lamp twice on five shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals opener. His two strikes put the Panthers up 3-1 before the Oilers made a comeback and seized the victory, marking a disappointing end to a special night for Bennett. The 28-year-old set a new franchise record with 12 goals in a single postseason. Remarkably, Bennett has tallied 11 of his goals in road games, which is a league record that he now shares with Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets. He has a chance to make it his own in Friday's Game 2. Bennett has also added six assists to his goals in the playoffs, putting him on a point-per-game pace through 18 appearances.

A.J. Greer Out for Wednesday's Game 1

Florida Panthers left wing A.J. Greer (lower body) won't be in the lineup for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday. He suffered a lower-body injury in the last game of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 28. The team was hopeful of having Greer available for the Finals opener, but the game comes too soon for him. Jesper Boqvist is set to enter the lineup in Greer's place. The Swedish forward has had a couple of brilliant performances this postseason, including a three-point effort in Game 3 of the East Final. Overall, he has posted five points (two goals, three assists) in 11 outings in the playoffs, while averaging 3.4 hits per game.

A.J. Greer Questionable for Start of Stanley Cup Finals

Florida Panthers left wing A.J. Greer (lower body) is questionable for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday. He sustained a lower-body injury in Game 5 against the Carolina Hurricanes and missed Saturday's practice. Panthers head coach Paul Maurice labeled Greer as day-to-day on Saturday. In the playoffs, Greer has averaged nearly four hits per game while contributing two goals and one assist in 12 appearances. Nico Sturm, Jesper Boqvist, and Mackie Samoskevich are in contention to join the lineup if Greer is declared unfit to play in the Finals opener next week.
