The Florida Panthers (28-24-3) limp into tonight’s tilt looking to end a frustrating four-game losing streak when they face the Boston Bruins (32-20-4) at Amerant Bank Arena in their penultimate game before the long break for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Yes, there are 26 games left after this one, but this feels like a must-win for the Cats.

The Florida Panthers blew a two-goal lead in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres Monday night, the latest debacle in a season that's just been fraught with troubles right from the get-go. In fact, it started back in training camp when captain Aleksander Barkov suffered a torn ACL and MCL. Without him and Matthew Tkachuk for the first half of the year, the Panthers have had a dreadful season, and are now nine points back of a playoff berth, with four other teams to leapfrog as well.&nb...

Well, it looks like Coach Jon Cooper isn’t going to have one of his most trusted forwards for Team Canada in the upcoming Olympic Games in Italy. Reports have surfaced that Anthony Cirelli will not be able to participate after suffering an injury in the Tampa Bay Lightning’s victory over the Boston Bruins.
To add insult to injury, he’s being replaced on the roster by a Panther. Florida’s Sam Bennett
Shortly after Boston scored to make it 3-1 on Sunday, Cirelli was skating at center i...
The injury-riddled Florida Panthers blew an early two-goal lead and dropped their fourth consecutive game, falling 5-3 to the rising Buffalo Sabres at Amerant Bank Arena.
Florida got off to a quick start, opening the scoring just 37 seconds in when Niko Mikkola’s slapper struck A.J. Greer in the back and fortoitous rookie Sandis Vilmanis sniped Alex Lyon’s glove for his second NHL goal.
The puck luck continued as the Cats extended their lead at 5:54. Sam Reinhart missed wide, but mad...

The Florida Panthers losing streak is at three after a frustrating 2-1 defeat to the Winnipeg Jets at Amerant Bank Arena.
Eetu Luostarinen opened the scoring with 5:20 left in the first, seconds after a cross-checking penalty on Logan Stanley expired. After taking a pass from Gustav Forsling, Evan Rodrigues let go of a wrister from just above the right circle that deflected off Luostarinen and beat Eric Comrie.
Unfortunately, that’s all the struggling Cats would be able to get into t...

A late penalty on Niko Mikkola loomed large in the Florida Panthers costly 5-4 loss to the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center.
Mikkola’s drive by of goaltender Joel Hofer with 1:54 left in the game put the Blues on a power play that they cashed in on with nine seconds remaining on the clock when Jimmy Snuggerud whipped Pavel Buchnevich’s circle-to-circle crossing pass past Daniil Tarasov. The second assist went to Jordan Kyrou, who was named First Star for his one-goal, two-assist perfo...

The Florida Panthers are sitting three points out of a playoff spot in the East despite playing better recently and getting Matthew Tkachuk back from an injury suffered prior to this season. Aleksander Barkov still isn't expected back during the regular season at the very least and this team is going to really want to defend their title. Even with the injuries, I don't think missing the playoffs is an option for them. The Panthers should continue to play better, but it's not easy in the East t...
Tobias Björnfot lit the lamp twice and Mackie Samoskevich also ended a long scoring drought to help the Florida Panthers finish a perfect three-game road trip with a 5-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center.
After a scoreless first period, Björnfot registered his first goal since 2021 by beating former Panther Spencer Knight for a wrap-around goal after Cole Schwindt won an offensive zone draw back to him at the left point with 4:27 left in the second. It was his first-ever po...
The Chicago Blackhawks saw their point streak snap Sunday night, unceremoniously falling 5–1 to the Florida Panthers at the United Center.
After a scoreless first period, the Panthers opened the scoring 15:33 into the second. Following a faceoff win by Cole Schwindt, Tobias Bjornfot circled around the back of the net and tucked in a wraparound at the right post to make it 1-0 Florida.
