Sam Bennett’s career year just got even sweeter with the 2025 Conn Smythe Trophy.
The forward received the honour as playoff MVP on Tuesday night, following the Florida Panthers’ 5-1 win in Game 6 that secured their second straight Stanley Cup.
Bennett, 28, tallied 15 goals and seven assists for 22 points during Florida’s championship run.
A native of East Gwillimbury, Ont., Bennett is set to be one of the top names in this off-season’s class of unrestricted free agents with his four-year, $17.7-million contract expiring.
He posted a career-high 51 points (25 goals and 26 assists) in 76 games during the regular season.
