A distinct franchise has received the Stanley Cup in every of the previous 4 years. The Lightning have been the final group to repeat, profitable it in 2020 and 2021.
Previous to that, the Penguins received it again to again in 2016 and 2017, and earlier than that, the final group to win consecutive titles was the Crimson Wings in 1997 and 1998.
The Panthers made it to the final two Stanley Cup Finals, falling to Las Vegas in 2023 and defeating Edmonton final season.
Of the final 10 NHL champions, six have been from the Jap Convention and 4 have been from the West.
Simply two of the final 10 Stanley Cup Finals have gone to seven video games, and there hasn’t been a sweep for the reason that Crimson Wings beat the Capitals 4-0 again in 1998.
Lastly, the final time the Stanley Cup winner completed with one of the best file within the common season was in 2013 (Chicago Blackhawks).
The Winnipeg Jets (previously the Atlanta Thrashers) ended the common season with one of the best file in hockey. The franchise has by no means received the Stanley Cup.
