| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Jonathan Huberdeau  ActiveJonathan Huberdeau ended his point drought on Saturday and his goal slump on Tuesday to give himself a two-game point streak. The sophomore forward had gone six straight games without a goal entering Tuesday night's action. Huberdeau's power-play marker opened the scoring in Florida's 4-2 loss to Ottawa. He has 13 points in 28 games this season. Dec 4 |
| 2 | Aleksander Barkov ActiveAleksander Barkov has been strong in the faceoff circle during his rookie year. He leads all rookies with 186 wins and is first on the power play with 32 victories. Barkov has won 50.1 percent of the 371 draws he's taken. He's been working hard on his faceoff skills with Frank Selke Trophy winner John Madden during practices. Barkov has been getting plenty of ice time with Scottie Upshall and Brad Boyes, so his production should improve eventually. He has a wealth of potential and has 10 points in 26 games this campaign. Nov 30 |
| 3 | Nick Bjugstad ActiveNick Bjugstad is doing a pretty good job of filling the Panthers' second-line center position. He's registered 10 points in 20 games this season and his confidence is growing as his ice time and responsibilites increase. "He's been good," Panther interim coach Peter Horachek said. "He's a big body. He wasn't scheduled or [we] didn't think that a young kid in his first year would step right in in a top-two center line role, but he's a big, strong guy who's done well and continued to play fairly well." As we've advised in the past, keep an eye on Bjugstad. Nov 30 |
| 4 | Marcel Goc ActiveMarcel Goc scored a goal in Florida's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary Friday night at Scotiabank Saddledome. Goc tied the game 3-3 off a Flames' turnover. After Mike Cammalleri failed to clear the puck out of Calgary's zone, Sean Bergenheim dished to Scott Gomez, who fed Goc for his sixth goal of the season and first in seven games. Defenseman Tom Gilbert and Jimmy Hayes also scored for the Panthers in the loss. Nov 23 |
| 5 | Shawn Matthias ActiveShawn Matthias has been skating on Florida's fourth line of late. In 27 games this season, he has averaged 12:46 of ice time per contest, which is down from the 15:11 he received last year. "If I'm given two minutes or 22, I've got to be ready for that," said Matthias, who has five points. "All I can control is how hard I work." Interim coach Peter Horachek likes the energy that Matthias brings to the table and he has moved him up during some situations. Dec 3 |
| 6 | Scott Gomez ActiveScott Gomez was scratched again Tuesday night. He's missed some time with a groin injury and he's been kept out as a coach's decision as well during his current six-game absence. "[Gomez] probably could play but could he play 20 minutes? No," interim coach Peter Horachek said. Nov 20 |
| 7 | Jesse Winchester ActiveJesse Winchester logged 14:42 minutes in his return from a hip injury. Winchester had two shots on goal and a hit in Florida's 5-1 loss to Pittsburgh. He has four goals and eight points in 21 games this season. Dec 1 |
| LW | 1 | Tomas Fleischmann ActiveTomas Fleischmann ended his nine-game point drought on Tuesday. He picked up an assist on Jonathan Huberdeau's power-play marker in the first period of Florida's 4-2 loss to Ottawa. Fleischmann finished the contest with three shots and a minus-2 rating. Next on his list will be finding the back of the net for the first time since Nov. 2. Dec 4 |
| 2 | Tomas Kopecky  I.L.Tomas Kopecky's injury is now being described as an elbow ailment after it was originally believed to be to his hand. He practiced fully on Monday and could be cleared to play for Tuesday's match-up against Ottawa. Kopecky has sat out the Panthers' last four games. Dec 3 |
| 3 | Sean Bergenheim ActiveSean Bergenheim potted his first two goals of the season Monday as the Panthers defeated Philadelphia by a score of 3-1. The winger had amassed a measly two assists in his first nine games of the campaign, but he finally got on the board with his pair tonight. Erik Gudbranson also buried his first of the season in the win. Nov 25 |
| 4 | Krys Barch ActiveKrys Barch played in his first game for the Florida Panthers and picked up a ten minute misconduct. Barch is an enforcer and played against the Blues on the fourth line Saturday after being a healthy scratch for the first game of the season. He replaced Drew Shore in the lineup and was a minus-1 as the Panthers were on the wrong end of a 7-0 shellacking. Barch gives you penalty minutes and little else in fantasy hockey. Oct 6 |
| RW | 1 | Brad Boyes ActiveBrad Boyes scored a goal in Florida's 3-2 shootout win over Vancouver Tuesday night. Boyes is the leading goal scorer for the Panthers with eight goals now. Rookie Aleksander Barkov and Scottie Upshall assisted his marker, while Shawn Matthias also scored for the Panthers. Nov 20 |
| 2 | Scottie Upshall ActiveScottie Upshall's scoring ways seem more and more legitimate, as he now has a point in four straight games. His Florida Panthers lost 4-2 to the Ottawa Senators, though. Upshall has 15 points in 25 games with 29 PIM and 47 SOG. Dec 3 |
| 3 | Jimmy Hayes ActiveJimmy Hayes scored his first goal as a Panther in Friday's 4-3 loss to Calgary. It was a bittersweet night for Hayes who failed to score in the sixth round of the shootout leading to the loss. Hayes has a strong track record of success in the minors but has not yet been able to translate it into any success at the NHL level. Of course, until he was traded to Florida, he had limited opportunities with the powerful Blackhawks. It remains to be seen if Hayes will fare any better with the Cats, but he's worth keeping on an eye on. Nov 23 |
| D | 1 | Brian Campbell ActiveBrian Campbell generated a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Both of his points came on Florida power plays and he concluded the match with a game-high 33:14 of ice time. Campbell has three points in his last two outings after going pointless in his previous five contests. Dec 4 |
| 2 | Dmitry Kulikov ActiveDmitry Kulikov was a healthy scratch Tuesday. "I think most of this is mental," said Kulikov. "The mistakes I have made weren't forced. I shouldn't have made them. What happened, happened, just work hard to get it out of me and not worry about it. I don't think I was playing bad enough to get thrown out of the lineup, but it's the coach's decision." He has been committing bad turnovers and has struggled to produce with just three points in 27 games. Dec 4 |
| 3 | Tom Gilbert ActiveTom Gilbert recorded three assists in Florida's 4-1 win against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. That gives Gilbert seven assists in 21 games this season. Those numbers are obviously skewed a bit by Saturday's performance and we don't expect him to have much fantasy value in standard leagues in 2013-14. Nov 17 |
| 4 | Mike Weaver ActiveMike Weaver will get back into Florida's lineup Monday night from the flu. He missed four games due to the illness. Dylan Olsen, who was recalled when Weaver was put on injured reserve, will also play against Philadelphia after Matt Gilroy was moved to Florida's injured list. Nov 25 |
| 5 | Erik Gudbranson ActiveErik Gudbranson registered a goal and an assist in Florida's 3-1 win over Philadelphia Monday night. He had a power-play assist and scored his first goal of the season. Gudbranson has three career markers in 129 contests, so he joked about finally about getting back on the board after the match when he was asked if he could remember the last time he scored. "I don't want to know," he said "A hundred? Come on." Nov 26 |
| 6 | Ed Jovanovski I.L.Ed Jovanovski (hip) is erring on the side of caution when it comes to his recovery. "I'm still in the frame of mind that I'm getting stronger, more comfortable in making that next step," Jovanovski said. "There's still no date. I think at this point, a lot of it comes down to you being your own doctor of sorts. I'm taking the information from doctors and I know I don't feel quite ready." He's working out, but we haven't seen any indication that he's close to returning. Nov 26 |
| 7 | Mike Mottau ActiveFlorida summoned Mike Mottau from the minors on Monday. In 13 games with San Antonio this season, Mottau has two points and 10 penalty minutes. Nov 12 |
| 8 | Matt Gilroy I.L.Matt Gilroy has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. He has two points and a minus-2 rating in 16 games this season. Nov 25 |
| 9 | Dylan Olsen ActiveDylan Olsen made his Florida Panthers debut Monday night in a 3-1 win over Philadelphia. He logged 19:10 of ice time and finished with a plus-2 rating. Olsen also picked up an assist on Sean Bergenheim's first goal of two versus the Flyers. He concluded the night with three hits and two blocked shots. That's quite the first impression. Nov 26 |
| G | 1 | Tim Thomas ActiveTim Thomas made 41 saves in Florida's 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Thomas is on a three-game losing streak in which he's allowed 12 goals. He's 6-10-1 with a .904 save percentage and 2.96 GAA this season. Dec 3 |
| 2 | Scott Clemmensen ActiveLook for Scott Clemmensen to get the start Saturday night against Colorado. Tim Thomas was in goal Friday in the Panthers' 3-2 loss to Minnesota and will likely get Saturday night off. Nov 16 |
