The Stanley Cup is a little banged up, thanks to the Florida Panthers’ celebration of back-to-back titles. The bowl of the trophy is cracked and the bottom is dented.

Less than 12 hours after losing to them in the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, oddsmakers at a majority of sportsbooks listed the Edmonton Oilers as favorites over the Florida Panthers in the 2026 NHL title series.

This is the most in a Final since 2022 when there were three in the entire series between the Avalanche and Lightning. There have been only six Final series with at least four comeback wins overall: five in 1987, 1971 and 1950, and four in 1980, 1978 and 1964.
