Florida Panthers star Sam Bennett wins 2025 Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.





— Sam Bennett won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP on Tuesday night after leading all players in goals scored to help the Florida Panthers win a second consecutive Stanley Cup championship.

Bennett scored 15 goals during a postseason run that culminated with a victory in Game 6 of the final against the Edmonton Oilers. He also was a factor physically by making big hits, crowding the crease and knocking goaltender Stuart Skinner and other opponents off their game.

Bennett contributed to back-to-back goals in Game 1 by standing in front of and falling onto Skinner, and he made a big hit on Vasily Podkolzin and scored seconds later in Florida’s Game 3 victory. All series, he was in the middle of the action.
