Everyone who plays dreams of games to step on the largest stage of their game as a child expects history to create history for a championship. Sam Renhart got to fulfill that dream on Tuesday night.
The Florida Panthers Center on Tuesday night scored four goals in his team’s 5–1 victory over Admonton Oilrs in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final, helping his team to secure the back-to-back-back Cup title. Four Renhart’s four goals scored the most in the final game, with five other players scored that several goals scored in 1914.
(It should be noted that the last two goals of Renhart came against an empty mesh, but both of them were outside the target oil attack area.)
As the Renhart and Panthers celebrate in South Florida, let’s take a look at 10 best individual championship performances since 2020. There are two caves in this list. The performance came in a series-clinching game (MLB, NBA, NHL) and the player had to win the title.
LSU QB Joe Buro vs Claymson (2020 National Championship Game)
After the eight-tachdown performance in the LSU’s semi-final win, Buro almost matched that the National Championship game against Claymson. He completed 31 out of 49 passes for 463 yards for five touchdowns, with 58 rushing yards and a crowd score.
Buro actually had to help LSU get out of the deficiency of 10 points against Defending National Champs, causing three straight touchdown drives in the second quarter. His 29-yard scummer highlighted the 95-yard drive before the halftime, which gave the tigers a 28–17 lead.

Buro then sealed the victory with a pair of TD pass in the second half, closing the best passing season in college football history.
Heisman winner obtained the title game records and touchdowns (three) for the reception (12) – and they all did this in one half. His last hold came in the second quarter, but it was very large. Smith ran away in the 42-yard strike, running away behind an Ohio State defender Mac Jones Alabama is going into a hawk to give a 35-17 lead.
Star Wideout faced a finger injury in the second half that forced the initial exit. But the loss had already been done, as they had placed a bow on one of the best wider receiver season in college football history. He finished the game with 215 yards along with receiving 215, helped to win Alabama, 52–24.
In its first NBA final appearance, Antatoconampo had already abandoned several 40-point performances in Game 6 against the Sun. He performed two big plays in the clutch in Box’s Game 4 and 5 wins, earlier a game-sealing block and later a game-sealing sting.
Nevertheless, the two -time MVP saved its best for the final in the 2021 NBA final. Antatoconampo scored 50 points in the box’s 105-98 win, shooting 16 out of 25 shots from the ground and the effective 17 of 19 from the free-thro line. The thirty -three of those points came in the second half, Antatoconampo scored 13 out of the last 21 points of the box and helped them pull them late. He also had 14 rebounds and five blocks in that game.
A day later, Antatoconampo celebrated the victory by ordering 50 chicken nuggets from Chik-Fil-A.
Solar had already lived to billing as a qualified trade time limit for Braves before Game 6. He hit 14 homeers in the 55 regular-season games for Atlanta, and when he was calm in the plate in NLDS and NLCS, Solar killed two major homes in the game 1 and 4 world series. His game 4 home run came as a pinch-hitter, and served as the game winning run.
Slogger had another homer for game 6. With the game of sports in the third innings, Solar crushed three runs shot from Astro Pitcher Louis Garcia, which cleaned the train tracks in the Mins Made Park and went 446 feet. Solar moved to his next-bate and later thanked for Freddy Freeman’s home run, which made it a 5–0 game N route to win 7–0 for the brave.

The Solar 2021 in the 2021 World Series went on 6 -for -20, in which his homer helped him to earn the world series MVP.
In the regular season of 2021, there was one of the best sessions near the flask for a comprehensive receiver, who became the first player in 16 years to receive the triple crown (lead the league at the reception, get the yard, get a touchdown). But he certainly saved his best performance for the final.
The star receiver of Rams had eight receptions for 92 yards and had two touchdowns in his 23–20 wins over Cincinnati Bangles at Super Bowl LVI. Kupp’s first touchdown came in the second quarter, the 11-yard grab gave Ram a 13–3 lead at that time. However, Los Angeles found a lot for the second half. With a late 20–16 lead in the fourth quarter with Cincinnati, Kuppa gained a fourth lead on the fourth and 1 game before grabbing four receptions for 39 yards on the Pentimet Drive of Los Angeles. The last catch was about to grab a-yard touchdown that led Rama to an edge with less than 1:30.
It is no surprise, Kupp won the MVP of Super Bowl LVI.
The best performance of the 2022 NBA final curry came in Game 4. He scored 43 points in that game, helping Warriors to return and stopped him from going down 3–1 in the series against Celtics.
When the series two games later returned to the TD Garden, Curry performed another brilliant performance. The star of Warriors left for 34 points, with seven rebounds and seven assistance. In that game, after one of his six 3-pointers, Curry felt that the warriors were close to capturing another title pointing to their ring finger.
Curry closed game 6 by scoring 13 points in the fourth quarter, raising the late rally of Celtics to win the Warriors for the 103-90 win. He won his first final MVP as a result of an average of 31.2 points per game in the series.
There were two performances in the finals of the 2022 World Cup that could complete this list, but we are only choosing the winners here. Messi and Kylian Mabappa were of course two best players in the world when Argentina and France met in 2022. They definitely like it. Messi opened the scoring scoring in the 23rd minute. After the Argentina took a late 2–0 lead in the first half, MBAPPE gave France two necessary targets to send the game in extra time. He made a penalty kick in the 80th minute before passing from Marcus Thuram.
In additional time, it appeared that Messi won for Argentina when she scored in the 108th minute. However, Mbappe scored on another penalty kick in the 118th minute, when a handball was called on Argentina.

In the penalty kick, Messi and Mbappe scored each in the initial stages. But France missed out on its next two shots, allowing Argentina to win a penalty kick, 4–2. Messi won his first World Cup and won the Golden Ball for the tournament, while MBAPE became the second hat -trick player in the World Cup final.
Aggressively, Tatam did not have the best series in the 2024 NBA final when Celtics took a 3–1 lead. But he stepped into all aspects in the 106–88 win of Celtix on Maveryx in Game 5. He got 16 points and nine assistance to help his team a 21 -point lead. He added to his scoring clan in the second half, 31 points, 11 assistance, eight rebounds and two to help Celtix to seal their 18th title to finish the game.
PSG Midfielder wish Due vs Inter Milan (2025 UEFA Champions League Final)
Daue proved that it was not too young for the big stage in the finals of the 2025 UEFA Champions League. The then 19-year-old midfielder scored two goals in a 5–0 win of PSG on Inter Milan in May, with Brace a 3–0 lead to his side by the 63rd minute. As he won the man of the match, Daue became the youngest player to score a brace in the final of the UEFA Champions League. He also became the second player to score a goal and assist in the final of the UEFA Champions League.

Reinhart 2025 joined a group of few selected with his four-goal performance in game 6 of the Stanley Cup final. He became the sixth player to score four goals in the final game of Stanley Cup, the first to do so since 1957. He became the second player to score four goals in a series-clining Stanley Cup final game, and the first player to do so since 1922.
The four goals scored by Reinhart in Game 6 gave them seven in the series. Not only was the highest in the series, but it was also the highest in the Stanley Cup final as Wayne Greatzaki scored seven goals in a 1985 series of Olers.
