who won the stanley cup 2024

The Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup in 2024. They defeated the Edmonton Oilers in a best-of-seven series, winning four games to three. This victory marked the Panthers' first Stanley Cup championship in their 30-year franchise history. The series was notable for the Panthers initially taking a 3-0 lead, the Oilers then winning three straight games to force a Game 7, and the Panthers ultimately clinching the title with a 2-1 victory in the final game on June 24, 2024. This was also the first Stanley Cup Finals since 1945 where a team came back from a 3-0 series deficit to force a seventh game, and Florida became the first team since then to win the Cup after nearly surrendering such a lead
