Charlie Cummings examines the opening odds for the Florida Panthers to three-peat as Stanley Cup champions in 2026.
With a 5-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, the Florida Panthers have won their second straight Stanley Cup. It’s an impressive feat for this Panthers squad that they got to celebrate in front of their own fans.
The celebration will last for days, perhaps a week or two, then the eyes will turn to the next season. Then the question comes to the forefront: Can the Florida Panthers pull off a three-peat in 2026? Let’s take a look at the opening odds on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
Our oddsmakers seem to think a third straight Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup Final is in the cards. The two teams open as the top two favorites.
It would be an awe-inspiring feat for Florida. Nobody has pulled off a three-peat since the 1980s, when the New York Islanders won four straight Cups from 1980-1983. Once the champagne runs dry and the offseason truly begins, the Panthers will set their minds to being the first team in 40 years to have a true dynasty.
