The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers are getting closer to seeing Sasha Barkov back on the ice with the team, but a return to game action is still weeks away.
After the Florida Panthers won the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive season, there were many talks of a dynasty. But after the Panthers lost Aleksander Barkov, that could have been the warning sign of what was to come.
Brad Marchand scored two goals Thursday night as the Florida Panthers defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-1 at Sunrise, Fla. Evan Rodrigues added a goal and an assist for the Panthers, who were playing their first game after the Olympic break.
The Panthers, hosting the Maple Leafs in their first post-Olympic game Thursday night, had a celebration, starting with Matthew Tkachuk and Auston Matthews taking part in a ceremonial face-off.
Matthew Tkachuk just can’t help himself. The superstar winger loves to voice his opinion and take shots at his opponents on and off the ice—but when you continue to find a way to come out on top when it matters most, there’s not much anyone else can do about it.
In the lore of the NHL, it's the Stanley Cup-winning teams that are remembered the most from seasons past. Yet, when looking back on the best of the best
Athletes have returned home from the Winter Olympics in Milan. Some came home with nothing, while others had medals. Jack Hughes’ overtime goal against Canada got Team USA gold medals to bring back.
Welcome back to the latest installment of NHL rumours here at Last Word on Hockey. In this edition, the discussion will turn to the chatter involving the Florida Panthers and two-time Stanley Cup champion netminder Sergei Bobrovsky.
The Florida Panthers will resume their chase for a playoff spot on Thursday night when they return from the Olympic break to meet the Toronto Maple Leafs in Sunrise, Fla.
The Panthers had a fantastic showing in the final medal games at the Olympics. Of the 10 players who went, 7 are coming back to Sunrise with an Olympic medal.
One of the stars for the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers is giving back. Aleksander Barkov is giving a seven-figure donation to the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Florida, per Panthers reporter Jameson Olive.
The Florida Panthers are stuck in two places at once. A look at their roster, filled with star veterans and proven winners like Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Reinhart, and Brad Marchand, among others, suggests this team is poised to make a run at a third straight Stanley Cup.
The Florida Panthers ran a clinic at the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. It wasn’t just the high-impact acquisitions they made, acquiring defenseman Seth Jones and Brad Marchand.
Rumors around Sergei Bobrovsky potentially being traded as a rental ahead of the March 6 deadline have begun to pick up steam over the past few weeks. Despite the rationale for the Florida Panthers making such a move, there was plenty of skepticism about how much truth there really was to the speculation.
Matthew Tkachuk has been an absolute thorn in the side of Connor McDavid. For the third time in less than three years, Tkachuk and his team got the better of McDavid and his when it mattered most.
On Sunday morning, the Team USA hockey team won its first gold medal in 46 years with a thrilling victory over the Canadian National Team at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.
With the Olympic break upon us, the trade deadline is under a month away. Where does each team stand, and what moves should they be looking to make? After looking at bubble teams in recent days, we now shift the focus to teams currently in a playoff spot.
The Florida Panthers are currently in the Olympic break. With a record of 29-25-3 and 61 points, they trail the Boston Bruins for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference by eight points.
Injuries have significantly impacted the Florida Panthers’ pursuit of a third consecutive Stanley Cup. However, assuming there are no further setbacks, they could return a trio of players shortly after the Olympic break.
Even without their normal captain, Sidney Crosby, Canada showed a resilience in their semifinal win over Finland that makes an eventual gold medal seem inevitable.
We now know the reason for the absence of one of Canada’s depth players. It was reported on Thursday that forward Sam Bennett missed Canada’s quarterfinal matchup with Czechia due to illness.
Team Canada center Sidney Crosby still made an impact even after exiting with a gruesome right leg injury at the Milan Cortina Olympics quarterfinal against Czechia on Wednesday.
It’s time for some more NHL rumours. We’re into the playoff round of the Winter Olympic playoffs. However, general managers are still thinking about making moves.
It was an eventful couple of days for the Panthers as the rest of the Cats hit the ice for their first games while Finland and Sweden played their second match.
With the Panthers dealing with several injuries for their final game before the Olympic break against Tampa Bay, they needed some help on the back end. Accordingly, the team announced (Twitter link) that they’ve recalled Mikulas Hovorka from AHL Charlotte. To make room on the roster, blueliner Tobias Bjornfot was placed on injured reserve.
