When asked about what makes the Golden Knights such a tough opponent to play on their home ice, Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice did not go the obvious route. The Golden Knights are good in Vegas - because they are flat out good. And have been, basically, since Day 1. Maurice noted his Winnipeg Jets did not have much success against the Golden…

The Florida Panthers hit the official halfway mark of their 2022-23 season today when they visit the Dallas Stars at 3:30 p.m. Florida comes into the day six points back of the New York Islanders for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

If the Florida Panthers are going to make the long climb back into a playoff spot, they need to get in gear right now. The Panthers currently sit eight points behind the New York Islanders for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference as they begin a four-game road trip in Detroit tonight. And that is just the beginning of a stretch of…

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers will be as close to full-strength as they have all season when they return from the NHL's holiday break to play the Montreal Canadiens.

The Florida Panthers will have a new player in the lineup on Friday night when they visit the New York Islanders at Belmont Park.

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers got a desperate Devils team last Saturday night in Newark and expect more of the same tonight at FLA Live Arena. The Devils are one of the most surprising stories in the NHL this season, getting off to a 16-3-0 start fueled by a 13-game winning streak. But things have cooled considerably. New Jersey comes to town…

The Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers are in the top 10 in goals-against average in the month of December while ranking in the middle of the pack in goals scored per game. The Bruins have allowed 16 goals in eight games during the month while the Panthers have given up 23 goals in nine games. The Bruins were the first team to 50 points. However,…

The Florida Panthers will have their hands full again against the league-leading Boston Bruins tonight at TD Garden. And the injury bug will not do them any favors. Again. The last time the Panthers made the trip to Boston, they had to play a man down with Brandon Montour nursing an injury and later had to play with four defensemen after Aaron…

The heavily-injured Florida Panthers find themselves starting a three-game gauntlet against two of the best teams in the league - and they start with the upstart New Jersey Devils. Florida's injury (and illness) woes started when captain Sasha Barkov started to feel sick in the middle of a win over the Washington Capitals on Nov. 15. With the…

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers find themselves in dire straights heading into the 30th game of the season. Just six months removed from ending what was a historically dominant 2021-22 season, the Panthers are nearing bottom-10 territory. And this is coming after Florida sent its 2023 first-round pick to the Montreal Canadiens to acquire Ben Chiarot…

The Florida Panthers did not have a morning skate before Thursday's game against the visiting Red Wings, but they are expected to have a couple of big additions to their lineup.

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. This will be the third consecutive start for the Panthers but that does not mean the team has a goalie controversy going. Coach Paul Maurice grabbed Sergei…

SUNRISE - It is another milestone night for Eric Staal and it will be a special one for the Florida Panthers center as they play host to the Carolina Hurricanes on Wednesday night. Not only does Staal hit 1300 regular season NHL games tonight, but he does so against the team it all started with. As a special bonus, two of his brothers will be on…

The Florida Panthers are catching the Anaheim Ducks at the wrong time. After losing seven straight games, the rebuilding Ducks have found a little something of late with wins in three of their past four games. Not saying this a good team or anything, but at least they are feeling good about themselves coming into tonight's game. The Panthers will…

SUNRISE, FLORIDA- The New York Islanders (2-3-0) are back in action Sunday night, as they face the Florida Panthers (3-1-1) for the second of a back-to-back here in Florida.

That's the date the NHL has set for the 2022 draft lottery and the Ottawa Senators are hopeful this is the last time people in the nation's capital will be gathered around their television to see where the club lands in the first round of the annual crapshoot. The draw will take place at 6:30 p.m. EDT. The NHL draft is set for July 7-8 at the Bell…

On a couple of occasions this week, new Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice has compared the start of his team's season against the Islanders to Christmas morning. Well, it's time to open up some gifts. The Panthers' 2022-23 season is about to commence. Florida will open things up on the road this year, playing the host New York Islanders at UBS…

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers set their initial roster on Monday evening and will open the season with 20 players none of whom are named Eric Staal. The Panthers liked what the veteran center brought to the team in camp on his PTO but they are so close to the salary cap ceiling they can't afford a nice used car much less another NHL player. So,…

On Tuesday, the Florida Panthers signed 21-year-old goaltender Spencer Knight to a three-year, $13.5 million contract extension. The contract will hold a $4.5 million annual cap hit once it kicks in next season. With Sergei Bobrovsky already carrying a $10 million cap hit through the final year of Knight's new contract, well, the Panthers are…

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 Senators had excessive expectations going into 2021-22, or no less than excessive by their requirements. After a powerful second half to the 2020-21 season, many anticipated the group to start out making some noise and contend for a playoff spot. That went out the window immediately, as they misplaced 16 of their first 20 video games of the…

A night after opening their season with a stingy, 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs will hit the road for the Ottawa Senators' first game of the season. The Senators were frisky last season, finishing in sixth place in the North Division. They should be better this season as long as they sign forward Brady Tkachuk, who is…
