1,002 – Career wins by Panthers head coach Paul Maurice in the regular season and playoffs combined. He joined Scotty Bowman (1,467) and Joel Quenneville (1,090) as the third head coach in NHL history to reach 1,000 career wins in that scenario.
747:34 – Amount of time the Panthers led during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the third most by one team in NHL history behind the 2008 Red Wings (780:46) and 1998 Red Wings (762:57). That total includes 255:49 during the Final (the highest total ever in the championship series). Excludes 2020 Stanley Cup Qualifiers and Round Robin.
52 – Home wins during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the second most in a single postseason in the past decade and trailing only 2013 (59), 1991 (57), 2014 (56), 2022 (54) and 1990 (54) all-time. Leon Draisaitl lifted the Oilers to a home victory with two overtime goals at Rogers Place – half of his NHL-record setting four goals beyond regulation this postseason.
41 – Times a team scored at least five goals in a game this postseason, tied for the fifth most in one postseason in NHL history behind 1988 (51),1981 (47), 2022 (43) and 1983 (42). The Stanley Cup champion Panthers accounted for 13 of those instances – including one in their Cup-clinching performance – en route to tying the 1983 Islanders for the second most by one team in a single playoff year behind the 1981 Islanders (15).
40% – The 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs were the fourth consecutive postseason to feature at least 40% of games result in a comeback win – the longest stretch in 40 years (7 straight from 1979 to 1985). In fact, 13% of contests featured a multi-goal comeback win, the second-highest percentage under the current format behind 2017 and 2014 (both w/ 16%). Overall, the 19 tying goals scored in the last 10 minutes of regulation were tied for the second most in one playoff year in NHL history (22 in 1993).
20 – Overtime games in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the 15th postseason in League history to hit the mark. Three of those contests came in the Final, which tied for the second most overtime games in an entire championship series.
15 – Goals scored by 2025 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Sam Bennett, including an NHL-record 13 on the road. One of his two goals in front of the home crowd included a must-see sequence that began with two hits in the defensive zone and ended with a breakaway goal.

11 – Leon Draisaitl (11-22—33) and Connor McDavid (7-26—33) led a group of 11 players with at least 20 points in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs – the fourth most in a single playoff year in NHL history behind 1991 (14), 1983 (13) and 2018 (12).
7 – Franchises in NHL history to win each of their first two Stanley Cups consecutively, with Florida the first to accomplish the feat in 33 years (last: PIT in 1991 & 1992).
6.2 – Goals per game in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The postseason started with the highest scoring opening round 30 years (6.5; highest since 1995: 6.8) and then ended with the fifth-highest Final in League history (45 goals) – including 28 scored by the Panthers, tied for the second most by any team in Final history.
2 – Historic Game 7s capped the First Round after the Stars and Jets dazzled the home crowd with dramatic victories. The 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs were the fifth consecutive postseason with multiple Game 7s in the opening round dating to 2021 – the second-longest stretch in NHL history behind a nine-year run from 2008 to 2016.
3 – Franchises in NHL history to capture the Stanley Cup after winning four series as the lower-seeded club, with the Panthers joining the 2012 Kings and 1995 Devils. Florida, which captured three of its first four series-clinching wins on the road, benefited from the play of Sergei Bobrovsky and his NHL-record tying 10 road wins in a single postseason.
0 – Sweeps throughout the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. This is the fifth postseason since 1987 (when all rounds went to best-of-seven) without any sweeps, following 2020 (excludes SCQ), 2016, 2002 and 1991.
