| C | 1 | Aleksander Barkov  SidelinedAleksander Barkov has been nominated for the Lady Byng Trophy. Barkov had 27 goals, 78 points and 14 penalty minutes in 79 games this season. He wasn’t chosen as one of the finalists for the Selke Trophy, so it’s nice to see him get some recognition for his outstanding season. Vegas’ William Karlsson and Buffalo’s Ryan O’Reilly have also been nominated for the Lady Byng Award. Apr 20 |
| 2 | Vincent Trocheck  ActiveVincent Trocheck scored a goal and picked up an assist in a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres. It was a tough game to play for the Panthers who were officially eliminated from the playoffs 90 minutes before puck drop when the Flyers beat the Rangers. Kudos to the Panthers for still coming out and playing a great game in front of the home crowd and coming away with the victory. Trocheck will finish the year with a career high 31 goals and 75 points in 81 games this season. Apr 7 |
| 3 | Henrik Borgstrom ActiveHenrik Borgstrom should work on getting stronger this summer, per Panthers director of player personnel Bryan McCabe. Borgstrom is coming off a fantastic season where he had 23 goals and 52 points in 40 games with the University of Denver. He joined the Panthers at the end of the season, scoring a goal in four games. "He’s learned being a center, being low and slow and not blowing the zone," McCabe said. "He’s a guy that wants the puck and can do a lot of special things with it. He’s not too far off. I think he’s got to get a little stronger, upper-body wise." Borgstrom will be a player to keep a close eye on during training camp. Jun 15 |
| 4 | Jared McCann ActiveJared McCann scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins. McCann gave the Panthers a 3-2 lead with under six minutes remaining in regulation and that was enough to get Florida the two points in the standings. The win allows the Panthers to stay alive in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The 21-year-old is up to nine goals and 25 points in 66 games this season. Aleksander Barkov and Frank Vatrano also found the back of the net for the Panthers on Thursday night. Apr 5 |
| 5 | Derek MacKenzie ActiveDerek MacKenzie will be scratched for Saturday's game against the Buffalo Sabres. The Panthers have shaken up their lineup because the Flyers won earlier today, which eliminated them from playoff contention. MacKenzie has three goals and 14 points in 75 games this season. Denis Malgin, Connor Brickley and Ian McCoshen will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 7 |
| LW | 1 | Jonathan Huberdeau ActiveJonathan Huberdeau scored a goal in a 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators. Huberdeau did well to crash the net and deflect home his 26th goal of the season. The 24-year-old forward continues to set new career-highs this season and he is now up to 68 points in 79 games. Colton Sceviour also scored in the win. Apr 3 |
| 2 | Mike Hoffman ActivePanthers GM Dale Tallon is confident Mike Hoffman will fit into the team's locker room. Erik Karlsson's wife, Melinda, filed an order of protection against Hoffman's fiancee, Monika Caryk, for allegedly cyber-bullying her. The Senators traded Hoffman shortly after that news came out and Senators GM Pierre Dorion said on Thursday that he had to make the trade because "our dressing room was broken." Tallon seems to believe that adding Hoffman won't result in the same issues in Florida though. "I’m real confident we have a strong locker room," Tallon said. "We have a great core of young players. All the conversations, I’m very confident he will be embraced by our team. We have a great culture down there now starting at the top with [Panthers owner] Vinnie Viola and all the way down. We’ve developed a real strong culture. We’re very confident about this player fitting in nicely. I know a lot of people that know him. I know a lot of players that know him and I have no issues and no problem with him coming into our team." Jun 22 |
| 3 | Jamie McGinn ActiveJamie McGinn scored in a 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. McGinn opened the scoring but the game just went downhill from there for Florida. The loss keeps the Panthers behind the Devils by three points for the final playoff spot with New Jersey playing the New York Islanders tonight. McGinn has seven points in his last seven games, bringing him to 13 goals and 27 points in 71 games this season. Mar 31 |
| 4 | Denis Malgin ActiveDenis Malgin will suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale. Malgin had been scratched for Florida's previous three outings. He has 11 goals and 21 points in 50 games this campaign. Apr 8 |
| 5 | Frank Vatrano ActiveFrank Vatrano notched one goal and one assist against his former Boston teammates in Sunday's 4-2 victory for the Panthers. Vatrano had the lone assist on Henrik Borgstrom's first NHL goal and he gave Florida a 2-1 lead after the first period with his seventh marker of the year. He had two goals and two assists over a three-game point streak to finish the 2017-18 campaign. Apr 9 |
| 6 | Connor Brickley ActiveConnor Brickley is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Brickley may not be back with the Florida Panthers after he was a healthy scratch in 27 of the final 33 games of the season. He posted four goals and 12 points in 44 matches. Apr 13 |
| RW | 1 | Evgenii Dadonov ActiveEvgenii Dadonov potted his 28th goal of the season in Sunday's 4-2 win over Boston. Dadonov stopped Boston's comeback bid with an insurance goal with 1:49 remaining in the third period. He posted two goals and three assists during a five-game point streak to finish the season. Dadonov proved to be a great addition to the Panthers' roster with 65 points in 74 contests. Apr 9 |
| 2 | Nick Bjugstad ActiveNick Bjugstad notched one goal and one helper in a 7-2 victory over Ottawa on Tuesday night. Bjugstad's second-half offensive surge has earned him 23 points in the last 23 outings. He has registered 17 goals and a personal best 45 points in 71 games this season. Mar 21 |
| 3 | Colton Sceviour ActiveColton Sceviour scored a goal and registered an assist on Saturday. Sceviour extended his point streak to four games. He has 11 goals and 24 points in 75 contests, which ties his career-high in goals and puts him two points short of a new personal best. Apr 8 |
| 4 | Micheal Haley ActiveMicheal Haley is expected to be a healthy scratch for the Panthers. It's pretty unusual for Haley to be scratched this season, though it's not the first time it's happened. He has eight points and 194 penalty minutes in 66 games in 2017-18. Mar 15 |
| 5 | Maxim Mamin ActiveMaxim Mamin found the back of the net in a 4-2 win over Boston on Sunday night. Mamin gave the Panthers a 3-1 lead at the 13:33 mark of the second period and his third goal of the season held up as the game winner. He had three shots in 9:09 of ice time. Mamin earned four points in 26 matches this year. Apr 9 |
| D | 1 | Aaron Ekblad ActiveAaron Ekblad plans to join Team Canada for the 2018 World Championship. Ekblad last played in the Worlds back in 2015. He excelled during that tournament with four goals and seven points in 10 contests. Team Canada won the Gold Medal that year. Apr 10 |
| 2 | Keith Yandle ActiveKeith Yandle notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 3-0 win over the New York Islanders. Yandle provided the game-winning goal at the 11:38 mark of the first period when he opened the scoring. He also had an assist on Evgenii Dadonov's secod-period tally. Yandle has collected 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in his last 14 games Mar 27 |
| 3 | Mike Matheson ActiveMike Matheson was named Florida's nominee for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy on Monday. The award goes annually to the NHLer who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community." Matheson volunteered at food trucks after Hurricane Irma, wrapped presents around Christmas and hosted a floorball clinic at a local school. The NHL will reveal three finalists on April 30. Apr 24 |
| 4 | Alex Petrovic ActiveAlex Petrovic will be a restricted free agent for the third time this off-season. Petrovic got a two-year, $2.1 million contract in 2015 and he signed a one-year, $1.85 million contract in 2017. "I'd love to sign a long-term deal, but they need to trust me coming into next year being a good player," Petrovic said. "Whatever pans out, I'm just going to come in in great shape and just be a good player, play my role. That's all I can control." Apr 13 |
| 5 | Mark Pysyk ActiveMark Pysyk posted an assist with a plus-1 rating, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and three hits across 20:12 of ice time in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss in Chicago. Pysyk isn't much of an impact player at the offensive end, so Tuesday's assist was a bonus. His real value to fantasy owners in deeper pools is for his work in the blocked shots (47) and hits (33) categories across 31 contest. Dec 13 |
| 6 | MacKenzie Weegar ActiveMacKenzie Weegar found the back of the net in Monday's 3-2 win against Carolina. Weegar got his second goal of the year to get the Panthers on the board after the Hurricane jumped out to a 1-0 lead. He also picked up seven penalty minutes in the contest when he was challenged to a fight by Roland McKeown following a boarding hit on Brock McGinn. Weegar's eventful contest also saw him contribute two shots, three hits and three blocks. Apr 3 |
| 7 | Ian McCoshen ActiveIan McCoshen will be in the lineup Sunday night versus Boston. McCoshen has been in the press box as a healthy scratch for the last 10 games. He will take Alex Petrovic's spot on the back end in Florida's regular-season finale. Apr 8 |
| G | 1 | Roberto Luongo ActiveRoberto Luongo still isn't over the fact that the Florida Panthers missed the playoffs in 2017-18. The Panthers dug themselves into a hole early, but they managed to make things interesting late. In the end, they missed the postseason by one point and that stings for the veteran goaltender. But now that the Stanley Cup Playoffs are over, he can start getting over it. "Until hockey’s off TV, it’s tough to start focusing on the next year," Luongo said. "Obviously, the emotions start to go away as time goes by. But for me personally, it’s always been about once the season is over as far as the Stanley Cup Final is when I can start moving on. And everybody’s back on the same page and working for the next season." Jun 9 |
| 2 | James Reimer ActiveThe ankle injury that James Reimer was dealing with wasn't serious. Reimer was pulled from the season finale due to the ailment. However, he believes he would have been fine to play in Game 1 had the Panthers made the playoffs. In other words, there shouldn't be any issues by the time training camp starts. Apr 10 |
