The Buffalo Sabres managed an upset win over the Ottawa Senators in their home opener on Thursday night. Now, they face the mighty Florida Panthers.

The Colorado Avalanche were the odds-on favorite to win the Stanley Cup when the NHL season started. The Florida Panthers are considered a real threat to compete for the title.

SUNRISE - Spencer Knight will be back in net for the Florida Panthers when they play host to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday. After a 40-save shutout Wednesday against Carolina, of course he is.

The Florida Panthers are catching the Anaheim Ducks at the wrong time.

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers held a spirited practice at FLA Live Arena on Wednesday morning, a day after suffering a rare loss on home ice.

"I don't think anyone is happy and I…

SUNRISE - Just over a week ago, the Florida Panthers walked out of the Prudential Center a humbled bunch.

Ottawa's Tim Stützle is a star in the making. And it seems general manager Pierre Dorion shares that opinion, as the team announced Wednesday a max-term extension for the 20-year old, now signed on a $66.8 million dollar contract through the 2030-31 season. Stützle entered the league with quite the pedigree. A former third overall pick (2020) whose…

It has been a long time since the Florida Panthers have been on the verge of a losing streak and when they face the Penguins in downtown Pittsburgh on Thursday night, they'll be trying to avoid one.

It's getting to that time....again. Which means of course we now need to start looking at the competition that surrounds this team, starting with the teams that, at least in my opinion, the Bruins will have to actively keep up with this season. I'm sure you're familiar with them. Last year, any negative opinion about the Panthers defense, real or…

The Florida Panthers ran into a desperate Calgary team on Tuesday night, one that had lost four consecutive games. The Edmonton Oilers may come into Thursday's game downright feisty.
