The Panthers swept last season's series with four one-goal wins, a grinding advance that began with a four-overtime thriller that went down as the sixth-longest game in NHL history.

After the Florida Panthers topped the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7, the conference finals are officially set for the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. In the next two weeks, four teams will battle it out to see who will get the opportunity to play for the NHL's ultimate prize this postseason.

The Panthers swept the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final in 2023, winning all four games by one goal and holding Carolina to six goals on 174 shots in the series.
