After three rounds, 14 playoff series and 80 games, the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals are finally upon us. For the first time since 2009 and just the 12th time in NHL history, there will be a rematch of the previous season's championship matchup.
The Florida Panthers, champions of the Eastern Conference, and the Edmonton Oilers, kings of the West, will face off for the glory of lifting Lord Stanley's Cup yet again. The former triumphed in seven games last year, fending off a ferocious comeback by Connor McDavid and company.
The Oilers will be looking to avenge that loss and become the first since the 2009 Pittsburgh Penguins to win the final after losing it the previous year. That being said, defending champions are 7-4 in the rematches all-time.
