| 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 suffered a lower-body injury Thursday, but he's expected to be available for this weekend's back-to-back contests. The rookie forward was hurt in the third period, but he should be fine to play on Saturday against Detroit and Sunday versus Chicago. Barkov is hoping to represent Finland at the Winter Olympics. "It's always great to play for Finland to try to win something, but I'm very happy to be here," he said. "That will come later. I have to be here much better." Barkov has 10 points in 29 games, but he hasn't scored a goal since Nov. 10 and he doesn't have a point in his last six. Dec 6 |
| 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 scored a goal and added an assist for the Panthers in Thursday's 5-2 defeat of the Jets. Fleischmann recently suffered through a nine-game stretch where he didn't record a single point, but he has since picked up three points in his last two outings. He also snapped a 14-game goalless skid. Erik Gudbranson, Dylan Olsen, Jimmy Hayes and Nick Bjugstad all tallied for the Panthers in the win. Dec 5 |
| 2 | Tomas Kopecky ActiveTomas Kopecky (elbow) has been removed from injured reserve and he'll play Thursday. He has missed the last five games with an elbow injury. Kopecky has four points in 23 games this campaign for the struggling offense of the Florida Panthers. Dec 5 |
| 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 collected two assists in Florida's 5-2 victory versus Winnipeg on Thursday. His first helper, on a goal from defenseman Dylan Olsen, gave him 100 for his career. Upshall has a five-game point streak going and he's picked up at least one point in nine of his last 11 contests. Dec 6 |
| 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 earned an assists in Thursday's win over Winnipeg. He snapped a 12-game scoreless drought with the helper. Kulikov was back in the lineup on Thursday after he was a healthy scratch in Tuesday's loss to Ottawa. Dec 6 |
| 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 filled his stat sheet nicely on Thursday in Florida's 5-2 win over Winnipeg. He recorded a goal, an assist, three hits, two blocks and a plus-2 rating in the contest, while seeing 18:33 of ice time. Gudbranson has six points, 69 hits and 53 penalty minutes in 29 games this season. Dec 6 |
| 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 registered his first career goal and added an assist in Thursday's win against Winnipeg. The former Chicago Blackhawks defenseman has three points and 12 shots in five games with the Panthers since his acquisition in the Kris Versteeg trade last month. Olsen also picked two hits, two blocks and a plus-2 rating versus the Jets. Dec 6 |
| G | 1 | Tim Thomas ActiveTim Thomas was able to snap a three-game losing streak with earning a victory in Florida's 5-2 defeat of the Jets. Thomas was sharp in the contest, stopping 29 of 31 shots and improves his record to 7-10-1 with the win. His GAA is now 2.91 and his save percentage is .906. Dec 5 |
| 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 |
