Two teams remain in the quest to hoist the Stanley Cup, and one team will win its first title in franchise history.

The Western Conference champion Vegas Golden Knights will face the Eastern Conference champion Florida Panthers in the best-of-seven-game Stanley Cup Final series beginning Saturday, June 3.

The Panthers were the conference’s eighth seed and upset the No. 1 Boston Bruins in a seven-game thriller, then took care of business against the Toronto Maple Leafs in five games and swept the Carolina Hurricanes in the conference final. The Panthers are making their second appearance in the Stanley Cup Final, their first being a 4-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche in 1996.

The West’s No. 1 seeded Golden Knights defeated the Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars in the playoffs to reach the the Stanley Cup Final. The team previously went to the final in their 2018 inaugural season, losing to the Washington Capitals in five games.

It’s the first Stanley Cup Final to air on TNT (along with TBS and truTV) as part of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports’ TV rights agreement with the NHL.
