Florida Panthers Advance to 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Eastern Conference Final for Second Consecutive Season

Florida Panthers Sweep Carolina Hurricanes

Panthers Move On to Championship Series

The Florida Panthers are back in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive season after sweeping the Carolina Hurricanes in four games on Wednesday night. The Panthers won Game 4 by a score of 3-2 in overtime, with Aleksander Barkov scoring the game-winning goal.

The Panthers now await the winner of the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning series. The Rangers currently lead that series 3-2 heading into Game 6 on Friday night.

This is the second time in franchise history that the Panthers have reached the Eastern Conference Finals. They lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games in 1996.

The Panthers are looking to make their first Stanley Cup Final appearance since 1996. They are the only team in the NHL to have never reached the Stanley Cup Final.

The Panthers have been one of the best teams in the NHL all season long. They finished the regular season with a record of 58-18-6, which was the second-best record in the league. They also won the President's Trophy for having the best regular-season record.

The Panthers are led by a young core of players, including Barkov, Jonathan Huberdeau, and Aaron Ekblad. They also have a strong veteran presence, led by captain Aleksander Barkov.
