By now, Paul Maurice isn't surprised when Carter Verhaeghe delivers in the most important moments for the Florida Panthers. The coach has only been running the Panthers for two years and yet the clutch moments are already almost too numerous to fully recount.
Verhaeghe, who joined the Panthers on a meager $1 million-per-year contract in the 2020 offseason, is now firmly entrenched as one of the best postseason performers in Florida history - and the NHL, as a whole.
No one was surprised, then, to see Verhaeghe deliver yet again in Game 1 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, opening the scoring for the series just 3:59 into the first period to send Florida on its way to a 3-0 win against the Edmonton Oilers.
