The Panthers flew to Carolina on Monday, not interrupting their usual postgame routine of staying in the road city after a game to rest, hydrate, and start the recovery process.

The Panthers swept the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final in 2023, winning all four games by one goal and holding Carolina to six goals on 174 shots in the series.

After the Florida Panthers topped the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7, the conference finals are officially set for the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. In the next two weeks, four teams will battle it out to see who will get the opportunity to play for the NHL's ultimate prize this postseason.
