The Florida Panthers showcased remarkable resilience in their pursuit of back-to-back Stanley Cup titles, with standout performances despite significant injuries. Matthew Tkachuk, battling through a sports hernia and a torn muscle, netted the decisive goal in the finals against Edmonton. Coach Paul Maurice highlighted Tkachuk's determination, casting doubt on his ability to contribute early in the postseason.

Captain Aleksander Barkov played with a severe hand injury, while Sam Reinhart made a stunning return from an MCL sprain to score four goals in the clinching match, a feat not accomplished since 1957. Their efforts have sparked discussions about whether this Panthers squad can be labeled a dynasty, sparking excitement among fans and fantasy players alike.
