On Sunday night the Philadelphia Flyers made history. For all the wrong reasons. After keeping Carolina scoreless for roughly half of regulation, the defending Stanley Cup champions broke the game open, and cruised rather easily to a 4-1 victory on the road. The loss put the Flyers in the record books, setting a franchise record with seven consecutive losses to start a season.

The Florida Panthers (2-2-2) will look to snap a two-game losing streak when they do battle with the Columbus Blue Jackets (2-2-0) tonight as part of the NHL’s Frozen Frenzy at Nationwide Arena. Florida returned to the road yesterday and couldn’t quite keep pace with the Buffalo Sabres, falling 5-3 to their divison rival. Anton Lundell scored his first of the season (barely) and Sam Reinhart got his first two, both on the power play as the Panthers tied the score three times before the Sa...
BUFFALO – Sabres coach Lindy Ruff loves goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s ability to fight through difficult situations. Luukkonen looked a bit wonky in his first three appearances this season, posting a .782 save percentage. While a porous defense played a part in compiling that ghastly number, he hardly stood out. In the past week, he has lost starts to Colten Ellis, who began Monday afternoon’s game against the Florida Panthers sporting a save percentage nearly 100 ... Read the full article...
BUFFALO – Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin suffered an upper-body injury early in the second period of Monday afternoon’s 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers and will likely miss tonight’s road game against the Montreal Canadiens, coach Lindy Ruff said.

The Buffalo Sabres came out ahead against the Florida Panthers 5-3 last night. Victory against the former Stanley Cup champions is worthy of flowers, as the Sabres continue to trend upwards, despite missing goaltender Alex Lyon, who is out on injured reserve. Last night's game was a stellar performance for the Sabres, who put up 2 goals in the first period, 1 in the second, and finished off the once-reigning Panthers with 2 in the third. But their victory could be viewed as pyrrhic...
The Buffalo Sabres had some questions on the blueline entering the season. Mattias Samuelsson and Olen Zellweger both entered the season with injuries, but have since returned to the ice. Regardless, the Sabres were still looking for depth on the blueline. After their 5-3 Monday afternoon win over the Florida Panthers, the team made a […] The post Sabres acquire 2 defensemen from Pittsburgh for Ryan Johnson appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Sometimes the best answer is the familiar one. For the Minnesota Wild, Saturday's 4-1 win over the Florida Panthers made a convincing case for keeping Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Matt Boldy together. Reunited, they delivered seven combined points, ended a two-game winless stretch an...
The Florida Panthers dropped a 5-3 decision to the Buffalo Sabres in an odd holiday matinee game at KeyBank Center that saw both starting goalies depart for different reasons. After applying early pressure, the Sabres opened the scoring at 5:53 when Josh Doan picked off a Gustav Forsling pass and worked a well-executed give-and-go with Peyton Krebs before ripping a wrister past Jacob Markström. The Panthers countered at the 11-minute mark to knot the score. After coming up with a tak...
Dahlin left the Sabres’ Monday matinee against their Atlantic Division foe during the second period.

The Florida Panthers (2-1-2) are back on the road again for an early afternoon, holiday tilt against the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center in the first of four meetings between the Atlantc Division rivals.

Matthew Tkachuk, who leads the team with three goals and four points, was the only Cat able to solve Jesper Wallstadt. Florida has had a hard time scorin...
BUFFALO – Scratching young players, as coach Lindy Ruff did Saturday, is often the first option to ignite a struggling team. As rookie Konsta Helenius and Jiri Kulich watched, the Sabres fell meekly to the Utah Mammoth. Now, Ruff’s lineup decisions – he has 14 forwards at his disposal – for this afternoon’s game against the Florida Panthers could be a heck of a lot more interesting. The Sabres, fresh off a 109-point season, have ... Read the full article The post As Sabres struggle early...

As one of the NHL's oldest teams this season, the Florida Panthers are already dealing with major injuries to stars Aleksander Barkov and Brad Marchand. Panthers GM Bill Zito is betting on experience, but health issues could ultimately sink Florida's playoff hopes.
With the Florida Panthers’ home-opener defeat Saturday night, the stingy Edmonton Oilers are the only team in the National Hockey League without a regulation loss. That’s got a nice ring to it. A decidedly unflashy week of games is laying a solid foundation for the Oilers’ 2026-27 aspirations. The Ferraris can purr, and the Chevy Avalanches…

Kirill Kaprizov notched a hat trick and added an assist to lead the Minnesota Wild to a 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers in the Cats home-opener at Amerant Bank Arena. The Wild took advantage of a ill-timed line change to forge ahead just 53 seconds into the game. Kaprizov moved the puck to Jared Spurgeon, who head-manned to Matt Boldy. Boldy had plenty of open space to skate into as he crossed the blue line before wiring a wrister past Jacob Markström for his first goal of the seaso...
