← 2014 Stanley Cup Finals 2016 →

The 2015 Stanley Cup Finals was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 2014–15 season, and the culmination of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs. The Western Conference champion Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lightning four games to two to win their sixth championship in franchise history, and their third title in six seasons.

The Lightning, as the club with the better regular-season record, held home-ice advantage in the series. The best-of-seven series was played in a 2–2–1–1–1 format, with Tampa Bay hosting Game 1, 2, and 5; and Chicago hosting Games 3, 4, and 6. Tampa Bay would have hosted Game 7 had it been needed. The series started June 3 and ended on June 15.[4][5]

Tyler Johnson and Patrick Kane led the Stanley Cup playoffs in points scored with 23 points each.[6]
