The Florida Panthers losing streak is at three after they fell by a 5-1 count to the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center in the return of Tomas Nosek to the active lineup.
New Jersey got goals from five different players – Arseny Gritsyuk, Dougie Hamilton, Cody Glass, Dawson Mercer and Simon Nemec – and former Panther Jacob Markstrom stopped 20 of 21 shots faced as the Devils struck another blow to Florida’s fading playoff chances.

The Lightning’s 7-0 loss to the Florida Panthers in the final game of the preseason will probably be best remembered for a player assisting on a goal after he was kicked out of the game. Niko Mikkola was originally granted an assist on a goal in the third period before everyone realized he wasn’t even supposed to be playing since he had received a game-misconduct earlier in the penalty-filled contest. The goal was taken off the board and the Panthers had to be content with the 7-0 win.

The Florida Panthers cloudy playoff picture grew even more muddled with a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders at UBS Arena.
Anders Lee scored the game-winning goal, skating around Aaron Ekblad and going backhand-to-forehead to beat Sergei Bobrovsky with 32 ticks left in regulation to hand the Cats a second consecutive one-goal loss.
After struggling to score Friday against Buffalo, the Panthers got off to a great start, opening up a two-goal lead on the Islanders.

The Islanders pulled off a third consecutive two-goal comeback win and this time they didn’t even need overtime, though Anders Lee’s winner was practically that, coming with 32 seconds left in regulation on a stunning individual play by the captain. Oh, also: Matthew Schaefer had another two-goal game, ho-hum, to bring his rookie season goal […]
No rest for the victors, as the Islanders return to Long Island to host the Florida Panthers after winning in Columbus last night.

Florida is coming off a frustrating 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday in which they wasted a high-quality start from backup goalie Daniil Tarasov, who stopped 36 of 38 shots. Matthew Tkachuk scored his fifth of the season in the middle frame and Sam Bennett notched his 20th with 35 seconds remaining to pull the Cats within one, but ...
We first heard the rumor last week. The Florida Panthers, if they ultimately deem themselves out of the race before the trade deadline, could decide to trade their legendary goaltender , and pending unrestricted free agent, Sergei Bobrovsky. The Panthers lost to the Buffalo Sabres Friday night, dropping them back to eight points in arrears of a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. Their two-time Stanley Cup run is teetering on the brink... at best. Bob's future is in doubt, as ...
The Florida Panthers came up short in a tough 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at Amerant Bank Arena, missing out on needed points in the process.
A hooking penalty on A.J. Greer set the stage for the first Buffalo goal with 2:12 left in the first. Alex Tuch was given enough space to take a slick little backhand dish from Ryan McLeod and fire it above Daniil Tarasov’s right shoulder from the slot. The second assist went to defenseman Bo Byram.
Florida would need just six seconds to tak...
The Islanders remain on the road in Columbus before coming back home tomorrow for a meeting with the Panthers.

The Rangers are taking another low-risk swing in claiming Tye Kartye, a physical, penalty-killing forward who could factor into their evolving fourth-line plans.

Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 27-23-9. On the team’s slow start to the game: It is a tough start, right?

The Florida Panthers are approaching a critical stretch before the March 6 trade deadline, and their direction could, interestingly enough, determine whether depth winger A.J. Greer becomes a popular target around the league. According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , if Florida slips further out of the playoff race, interest in Greer is expected to grow as contenders search for physical, low-cost bottom-six help. The odds are not in the Panthers' favor right now, as they sit eig...

Congratulations to that septet and to Uvis Balinksis, Gustav Forsling and Sandis Vilmanis, who also played some good hockey in Milan.

The Florida Panthers will not be going for a three-peat this season. That much is almost certain. Sitting a full eight points back of a Wild Card berth, and dead last in the Atlantic Division, it's quite possible that they use the upcoming trade deadline to perhaps recoup a few draft assets, and maybe peddle off a player or two. In fact, according to insider Jeff Marek on Sunday, legendary goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, a pending unrestricted free agent, is likely to be one of those ...
Quinn Hughes scored 3:27 into overtime to lift the United States to a 2-1 victory over Sweden in quarterfinal action from the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.
