Florida Panthers 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
Following their first Stanley Cup championship, the Florida Panthers suffered a bit of a hangover this season. Florida was still a good team, and there was no doubt about their status as a playoff team. The Panthers struggled down the stretch, losing seven of their final ten games. The question is whether they were just playing out the string and saving it for the playoffs or not. However, after years as one of the worst NHL franchises, the Panthers have remained among the best. The Panthers were coming off two consecutive appearances in the Stanley Cup Final.
In the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Panthers won their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 in the Final.

Florida Panthers History
The Panthers were founded as an expansion team in 1993-94, alongside the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Owner Vincent Viola has spent several years and a lot of money trying to dig the franchise out of the muck. He has finally succeeded.
Attendance for the Panthers has been low for most of the past two decades, but it has increased with their recent success. Like the rest of the NHL, Florida has had to navigate the pandemic issues that have kept attendance down in many markets, even after restrictions loosened. The pandemic came at the worst possible time for the Panthers, as they were finally starting to show significant improvement.
The Panthers' years of losing created an opportunity for several years of high draft picks. For the past two seasons, we have seen improvements stemming from that new blood. Florida had a golden opportunity in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs to win over new fans and expand its customer base. It helps that they play an exciting and winning style of hockey. The Panthers are easy on the eyes as one of the NHL’s most entertaining teams.
But Florida flopped badly in the second round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Help arrived that summer with the arrival of power forward Keith Tkachuk and new head coach Paul Maurice.
And a berth in the Stanley Cup Final made 2023 a year to remember. However, in 2024, the Panthers became immortal with their Stanley Cup championship, followed by a repeat in 2025.
