The 2024 Stanley Cup Finals will be the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 2023–24 season and the culmination of the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs. The series will be contested between the defending Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers and the Western Conference champion. It is scheduled to begin on June 8, with a possible seventh game scheduled for June 24.[1] The team with the better regular season record will have home ice advantage in the series. This will be the fifth consecutive Finals to feature a team from Florida.

Paths to the Finals[edit]

Florida Panthers[edit]

This will be the second consecutive and third overall Finals appearance for the Panthers. They lost both previous Finals appearances, losing the previous year's Finals against the Vegas Golden Knights in five games.[2]

Sam Reinhart led the team in scoring with 57 goals and 94 points.[3] During the offseason, the Panthers signed defencemen Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Dmitry Kulikov, forward Evan Rodrigues, and goaltender Anthony Stolarz in free agency.[4][5][6] They also re-signed Eetu Luostarinen and traded for Steven Lorentz.[7][8] During the season, the team traded for Vladimir Tarasenko, Magnus Hellberg, and Kyle Okposo at the trade deadline,[9][10][11] and acquired Tobias Bjornfot via waivers.[12] They also re-signed Gustav Forsling shortly before the trade deadline.[13]

The Panthers finished first in the Atlantic Division with 110 points via a 52–24–6 record. In the first round, they defeated their intra-state rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in five games.[14] In the second round, they emerged victorious against the Boston Bruins in six games,[15] then defeated the Presidents' Trophy-winning New York Rangers in six games.[16]
