Who Has The Best Odds To Win The Conn Smythe Trophy?
After dismantling the No. 1 seed Boston Bruins, the Florida Panthers have been unstoppable in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The 8 seed Panthers have done the unthinkable, clawing their way into the Eastern Conference Final.
The Panthers have now won five games this postseason in overtime on the road. The only teams in NHL history with as many are the 1993 Canadiens (6) and 1980 Islanders (5) � both going on to win the Stanley Cup.
All thanks to Matthew Tkachuk, who is putting together an insane playoffs. Scoring three of the five overtime goals for the Panthers. Not only that, but scoring the OT winner in back-to-back games. With the OT win on Saturday night, the Panthers jump into second all time for longest road winning streak in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with 8.
Just behind the 2012 Los Angeles Kings who won 10. The top two in the standings were 8 seeds.
Tying back to Tkachuk's unreal stats, with his third overtime goal of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he matches Carter Verhaeghe for the most in Panthers history while also establishing the franchise record for the most in a postseason.
Matthew Tkachuk was an incredible addition for the Panthers last summer, scoring a career best 109 points and continuing his hot streak into the postseason � 7 goals, 18 points in 14 playoff games.
