A unique franchise has gained the Stanley Cup in every of the previous 4 years. The Lightning have been the final staff to repeat, successful it in 2020 and 2021. 

Previous to that, the Penguins gained it again to again in 2016 and 2017, and earlier than that, the final staff 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 because the Crimson Wings beat the Capitals 4-0 again in 1998. 

Lastly, the final time the Stanley Cup winner completed with the very best report within the common season was in 2013 (Chicago Blackhawks).

The Winnipeg Jets (previously the Atlanta Thrashers) ended the common season with the very best report in hockey. The franchise has by no means gained the Stanley Cup.
