Sam Bennett has won the 2025 Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Bennett was a force for the Panthers all postseason, and his 15 postseason goals led the league. Bennett's win marks the first time a Panther has won the Conn Smythe Trophy despite their Cup win in 2024.

The Florida Panthers have the makings of a modern dynasty, winning 11 of 12 playoff series since Paul Maurice took over as coach in the summer of 2022.

Thanks to a historic four-goal night from Sam Reinhart, the Panthers rolled over the Edmonton Oilers and grabbed a dominant 5-1 win in Game 6 on Tuesday night at Amerant Bank Arena in South Florida. That officially closed out the series 4-2 and gave the Panthers back-to-back titles and their second championship in franchise history.
