#Florida Keys

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. While the Panthers would like to have a number of games back in their previous 40, their start…

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. Sasha Barkov (knee), Aaron Ekblad (shoulder) and Radko Gudas (concussion) were all cleared to return to the lineup on Thursday night, ending a month-long stretch where the Panthers…

The Florida Panthers will have a new player in the lineup on Friday night when they visit the New York Islanders at Belmont Park. Givani Smith, the forward Florida acquired on Monday from the Red Wings, was recalled from AHL Charlotte and will be in against the Islanders according to coach Paul Maurice. Maurice did not say who was coming out,…

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 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. Captain Sasha Barkov, who has missed the past six games and seven of 10 due to pneumonia, should be back centering the top line. Anton Lundell has missed the past two games…

The Florida Panthers will try and put an end to a three-game losing streak tonight against the Canucks. In a move that comes as a surprise to no one, Florida will have Spencer Knight back in net. Sergei Bobrovsky gave up three goals in the first period Tuesday night in Calgary and has surrendered four or more goals in four of his past six…

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…

The Florida Panthers will have Sergei Bobrovsky back in net Tuesday night against the host Chicago Blackhawks at 8:30 p.m. (Bally Sports Florida). Coach Paul Maurice said there would be no other lineup changes from Sunday's win against the Islanders. This will be the fifth start in seven games for Bobrovsky (2-1-1, .916/2.79) as the Panthers kick…
