It doesn’t look like the Florida Panthers are going to make the playoffs. After winning back-to-back Stanley Cups and making the finals in three consecutive seasons, Aleksander Barkov’s injury appears to be too much for them to overcome.

Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito is listening to trade offers ahead of Friday's deadline, as the organization has decided to be sellers ahead of the trade deadline. TSN's Pierre LeBrun reports the Panthers have a couple of pending free-agents who teams are interested in, and a move, or two, could be coming within the next 48 hours. The Panthers lost again last night and my understanding is they've made the decision to be sellers as far as listening on pending UFAs, which most notably...

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.

The Florida Panthers (30-26-3) will open a key four-game road trip when they pay a visit to the New York Islanders (34-21-5) this evening at UBS Arena.
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.

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.
