Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand are capturing the headlines for the Panthers, who are on the verge of back-to-back Stanley Cup titles. Florida’s depth, however, deserves plaudits too.
The Panthers have NINE players (yes nine) with 15+ points in a single playoff campaign. That’s tied for the most players in NHL history with 15+ points in a single playoffs, alongside the 1980 New York Islanders.
The Panthers also have five players with 20+ points, which is one shy of the record (six) held by the 1983 Islanders and 1985 Edmonton Oilers. That list includes Bennett, Marchand, Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe.
