The Panthers put an exclamation point on its second Stanley Cup in a row over the same team, beating the Oilers 5-1 on Tuesday night.
Here is a fun fact: Florida spent more time leading during this Stanley Cup Final than any previous team in history: 255:49
Circa made the Panthers, Avalanche and Oilers all +800 favorites to win the title next year.
DraftKings gave the Oilers (+750) the edge over the Panthers (+800), which seems unlikely unless Edmonton addresses its goaltending in the offseason.
Haliburton injury update

Turning the page on U.S. Open
U.S Open champion J.J. Spaun is 50-1 for the final PGA signature event this season, the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
VSiN golf analyst Wes Reynolds handicapped the 72-man field and came up with six outright bets, including this one:
Collin Morikawa (18/1 FanDuel): Morikawa finished just T-23 at last week’s U.S. Open, but led the field for Strokes Gained: Approach, Strokes Gained: Tee To Green, and Strokes Gained: Ball Striking to go along with ranking second for Greens In Regulation. So why did he finish just T-23? Well, because he lost nearly nine strokes with the putter, which was his worst performance on the greens in nearly five years and his worst ever since being a member of the PGA. Prior to last week at Oakmont, he had gained on the greens in three consecutive starts.
