Resources: Injuries | Schedule | How to watch on ESPN+ | Daily lines | Bracket, highlights and more After one of the most surprising playoff runs in NHL history, the Florida Panthers look to beat the odds one last time against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Panthers are -125 favorites, which would make this the tightest Stanley Cup Final series price since 2007. The Panthers entered the postseason at 35-1 to win the Stanley Cup Final.

Those would be the longest odds for any Stanley Cup champion in over three decades. Their odds reached 150-1 when they trailed the Boston Bruins 3-1 in their first-round series.

But since that 3-1 deficit, the Panthers have rattled off 11 wins in 12 games, despite not being favored in any of those games.
