The Florida Panthers defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 in Game 6 on Tuesday to win their second straight Stanley Cup.
Sam Reinhart scored four goals, two of which were empty-netters. He’s the second player in NHL history with four goals in a Cup-clinching win, joining Babe Dye of the 1922 Toronto St. Patricks.
Reinhart, who scored the Cup-winning goal a year ago, opened the scoring less than five minutes into the game. He stripped Evan Bouchard of the puck, danced around Mattias Ekholm, then beat Stuart Skinner glove-side for a sensational individual effort. Reinhart added another late in the second period when a puck redirected off his skate.
