https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/44686270/2025-nhl-stanley-cup-playoffs-championship-odds-conn-smythe-trophyAfter two overtime games to start the series, Game 3 was resolved in regulation after a game that saw 140 penalty minutes, the fourth-most in Stanley Cup Final history. The Florida Panthers roared to a 6-1 win in front of a loud home crowd to take a 2-1 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers.
There was major movement in the Conn Smythe Trophy market, as Panthers forward Sam Bennett overtook Connor McDavid as the outright leader in ESPN BET odds. It's the first time since May 23 that McDavid, who has no goals this series on 13 shots, hasn't been the outright leader in this market. Bennett began the series as the fifth-favorite, then rose to third before Game 3, and now finally the leader.
