Winning their first Cup last season by defeating the Oilers in Game 7, the Panthers are just the seventh franchise in NHL history to win each of their first two Cups on home ice. After netting the game-winning goal in last year’s Cup-clinching win, Sam Reinhart provided the heroics once again, scoring four goals in an overall dominant effort.

There, in overtime, more chaos ensued. Panthers defenseman Gustav Forsling stopped a goal with his skate amid a five-car pileup in front of the net. Sam Bennett’s deflected off goalie Calvin Pickard’s glove and solidly whacked the crossbar. “Cracked it,” Maurice said.

After losing Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Oilers, Panthers forward Sam Reinhart is confident in his squad.

With a chance to become the ninth different franchise to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, the Panthers know a strong start will be key again in Game 6 on Tuesday. Welcoming the Oilers back to Amerant Bank Arena – the site of Florida’s Cup-clinching win over Edmonton in Game 7 just a year ago – both players and the home crowd will be ready.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were joined by the Great One in Florida for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final Thursday night.
