The Edmonton Oilers stumbled at the final hurdle for a second straight June.
Sam Reinhart scored four goals, including two into the empty net, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 28 saves as Florida topped Edmonton 5-1 in Game 6 to win the franchise’s second consecutive Stanley Cup on Tuesday night.
The Panthers also beat the Oilers in seven games to capture their first-ever title last June.
Florida accomplished the feat in one fewer contest this time around after nearly blowing a 3-0 lead in the NHL’s title series 12 months ago.
