After a hard-fought series, the Florida Panthers punched their ticket to a second straight Stanley Cup Finals. Former New York Rangers forward Vladimir Tarasenko would score the game-winning goal to clinch the series for the Panthers.
After the game, the Florida Panthers were presented with the Prince of Wales Trophy as the champions of the Eastern Conference. As Aleksander Barkov went to accept it he got a message from his coach Paul Maurice with strict instructions not to touch the trophy.
