Top Panthers News

  • Panthers' Tyler Muszelik: Signs entry-level contract

    Muszelik signed a two-year, entry-level contract with Florida on Monday, which will start in the 2026-27 season.

    Muszelik could report to AHL Charlotte for the remainder of the campaign on a tryout basis. He posted a 19-11-5 record with a 2.21 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 35 NCAA games for UConn in 2025-26. The Panthers selected the 21-year-old netminder with the 189th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.

  • Panthers' Jesper Boqvist: Bags apple Sunday

    Boqvist notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

    The Panthers' recent run of injuries has opened the door for Boqvist to go from a part-time player in late February to the second-line center now. His offense hasn't improved all that much -- he has just three assists and 10 shots on net over 13 outings in March. The 27-year-old is at 11 points, 51 shots, 130 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 64 appearances this season.

  • Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Breaks up shutout bid

    Samoskevich scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

    Samoskevich was playing in his second game back after missing three due to a neck issue. The 23-year-old forward spoiled Igor Shesterkin's shutout bid with a shot that broke his stick and got bumped into the net by the Rangers' goalie. Samoskevich has struggled a bit this season with seven goals, 24 points, 142 shots on net, 125 hits and a minus-8 rating over 68 appearances. He's shooting just 4.9 percent, compared to 11.6 percent in the 2024-25 regular season when he had 15 goals and 31 points in 72 contests as a rookie.

  • Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Still skating, out for season

    As expected, Barkov (knee) won't return before the end of the 2025-26 season, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now on Monday.

    Barkov has been skating since January and participated in practices with his teammates for the past few weeks. However, head coach Paul Maurice confirmed before Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers that Barkov won't play this campaign. The 30-year-old Barkov had reconstructive surgery last September to repair his right ACL and MCL. He just passed the six-month mark of a 7-9 month recovery. Barkov registered 20 goals and 71 points in 67 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Takes tough loss Sunday

    Bobrovsky stopped 18 of 20 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers, with New York's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

    Bobrovsky was locked in a scoreless goaltending duel with Igor Shesterkin through two periods, but the Blueshirts finally broke through early in the third when Adam Sykora tipped home a shot-pass from Adam Fox. Bobrovsky has seen his workload scaled back in March with the Panthers out of the playoff picture. Over eight starts this month, he's gone 4-4-0 with a 2.61 GAA and an .899 save percentage.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Out of lineup Sunday

    Bennett (personal) will miss Sunday's game against the Rangers, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Bennett will miss a second consecutive game and his third of the season overall, as he wasn't in line rushes ahead of Sunday's battle with the Rangers. The 29-year-old has 54 points (25 goals, 29 assists) in 70 games on the season. His next chance at a return will be Tuesday when the Panthers return home to take on the Senators.

  • Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Remains unavailable

    Reinhart (foot) won't play against the Rangers on Sunday, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Reinhart will miss his eighth straight game, and a timeline for his return to the lineup remains unclear. He has generated 29 goals, 61 points, 166 shots on net and 59 hits across 64 appearances this season.

  • Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: In goal Sunday

    Bobrovsky will defend the road net against the Rangers on Sunday, per Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site.

    Bobrovsky will get the second half of Florida's back-to-back after Daniil Tarasov played in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders. The 37-year-old Bobrovsky has won his last two outings while allowing only four goals on 48 shots. He has a 26-20-1 record this campaign with four shutouts, a 3.02 GAA and an .878 save percentage across 48 appearances. The Rangers rank 26th in the league with 2.81 goals per game this season.

  • Panthers' Jack Studnicka: Returned to AHL

    Studnicka has been returned to AHL Charlotte by the Panthers.

    It will be a brief stay for Studnicka this time around. He was recalled Saturday, played 7:32 of ice time against the Islanders and is now being sent back down. The 27-year-old remains pointless in his 19 games at the NHL level this season.

  • Panthers' A.J. Greer: Finishes serving suspension

    Greer is eligible to play in Sunday's matchup against the Rangers after serving his three-game suspension.

    Greer received the three-game ban for boarding Calgary's Connor Zary on March 20. The 29-year-old Greer has 13 goals, 24 points, 87 shots on net, 181 hits and 109 PIM across 68 appearances this season.

  • Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Lights lamp twice in loss

    Tkachuk scored two goals in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

    Both tallies came in the first period as the Panthers grabbed a 2-0 lead, but it didn't last long as the Isles responded with five goals in the second frame. Tkachuk is putting the finishing touches on an impressive March that has seen the 28-year-old winger rack up seven goals and 17 points in 13 games.

  • Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Sunk by Isles

    Tarasov made 35 saves in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

    Florida grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period on a pair of Matthew Tkachuk tallies, but the second frame was dominated by New York as Tarasov got beaten five times on a massive 35 shots. The 27-year-old netminder has lost four straight starts and eight of his last nine dating back to Jan. 29, going 1-8-0 over the latter stretch with a 4.19 GAA and .880 save percentage.

  • Panthers' Mackie Samoskevich: Ready to rock

    Samoskevich (neck) will return to the lineup Saturday against the Islanders, per Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site.

    Samoskevich missed three games after a skate cut the back of his neck against the Oilers on March 19. He has six goals, 17 assists, 26 PIM and 123 hits over 66 games this season. Samoskevich could see action on the second line in Saturday's contest, as the team continues to struggle with injuries down the stretch.

  • Panthers' Sam Bennett: Unavailable Saturday

    Bennett (personal) won't play against the Islanders on Saturday, according to Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site.

    Bennett will miss at least one game, but it's unclear if he will be ready to play against the Rangers on Sunday. He has produced 25 goals, 54 points, 180 shots on net, 112 hits and 76 PIM across 70 appearances this campaign. After being recalled from AHL Charlotte on Saturday, Jack Studnicka could replace Bennett in the lineup against the Islanders.

  • Panthers' Daniil Tarasov: Starting Saturday

    Tarasov will guard the visiting cage against the Islanders on Saturday, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports.

    Tarasov has lost three straight games, but he was spectacular Thursday, turning aside 47 shots in a 3-2 loss to Minnesota. Tarasov is 9-13-2 with a 3.01 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 25 appearances this season. The Islanders are generating 2.84 goals per game, 23rd in the NHL in 2025-26.
