Panthers’ Bennett Sets NHL Playoff Goal Record, Reinhart Forces Stanley Cup OT

Sam Bennett continues to make Stanley Cup playoffs history with his 15th goal this postseason, extending his league-leading mark and becoming the first player since 1919 to score 15 goals in a postseason without ever having a 30-goal regular season. Bennett also set an NHL single-postseason record with 13 road goals and scored in six consecutive road games, joining an elite group of players with such a streak. Meanwhile, Sam Reinhart played a pivotal role for the Florida Panthers, scoring a crucial game-tying goal with seconds left in regulation of Game 4 against the Edmonton Oilers, forcing overtime in a thrilling contest. Reinhart contributed two assists and blocked two shots in that game, marking his second consecutive multi-point effort and third in five games, highlighting his importance in the Panthers' top-line role. The Panthers initially led 3-0 in Game 4 before the Oilers rallied, but Reinhart's late goal energized fans and created one of the latest tying goals in Stanley Cup Final history. Both Bennett and Reinhart's performances underscore the intensity and excitement of this Stanley Cup Final series between the Panthers and Oilers.
