| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Aleksander Barkov  ActiveAleksander Barkov registered two assists in the Panthers' 5-4 win against Tampa Bay on Saturday. Unfortunately Barkov was also minus-one, bringing him down to minus-three on the season. That aside, Barkov is a great young offensive forward. He was limited to 61 games last season, but if he can stay healthy in 2017-18 then a 60-point campaign shouldn't be beyond his capabilities. Oct 8 |
| 2 | Vincent Trocheck ActiveVincent Trocheck has recorded a point in all of Florida's first four games this season. Trocheck continued that pace with an assist in the Panthers' 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Trocheck has recorded 53 and 54 points in each of his previous two campaigns and he's a good bet to finish around there again if he stays healthy. Oct 15 |
| 3 | Nick Bjugstad ActiveNick Bjugstad notched a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over St. Louis on Thursday night. Bjugstad has four points in three games this season thanks to a pair of multi-point performances. He only had 14 points in 54 outings last year due to injuries, but it's been a strong start to 2017-18 for the 25-year-old forward. Oct 13 |
| 4 | Derek MacKenzie ActiveDerek MacKenzie is excited to have Bob Boughner as the new head coach of the Panthers. "He's a player's coach, an all-in kind of guy," said Florida's captain. "He can relate to you. He's a guy you have a great relationship with, but he's not afraid to put his foot down. When he came to you and needed something from you, you wanted to do it." MacKenzie has played for Boughner before when he was an assistant for Columbus in 2010. Jun 13 |
| LW | 1 | Jonathan Huberdeau ActiveJonathan Huberdeau scored two goals, but the Florida Panthers were vanquished by the Pittsburgh Penguins by a score of 4-3 on Saturday night. Huberdeau looks ready to contribute to the Florida Panthers offense. He now has three goals and five points in four games for Florida. He lost a great chunk of the 2016-17 season thanks to injury, and as a result he only scored 10 times. If healthy, Huberdeau will surely surpass that total. Oct 14 |
| 2 | Jared McCann ActiveJared McCann had a goal and a helper Thursday in a 5-2 victory versus St. Louis. McCann scored a power-play marker for his second goal of the season. He already has generated four points in three outings after he had just seven points in 29 appearances with the Panthers in 2016-17. McCann has been playing as Florida's third-line center between Nick Bjugstad and Connor Brickley. Oct 13 |
| 3 | Denis Malgin ActiveDenis Malgin has been recalled by Florida. Malgin recorded one assist in three games for Springfield of the AHL during his minor-league stint. He was a healthy scratch in each of the Panthers' first three games. It's uncertain at this time if he'll get to make his season debut Tuesday night or if he's just an extra body for the trip to Philadelphia. Oct 16 |
| 4 | Connor Brickley ActiveConnor Brickley has a three-game point streak to start the 2017-18 campaign. Brickley has produced one goal and three assists over that span. He collected two helpers in Thursday's 5-2 win over St. Louis. Brickley has meshed nicely with Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann on Florida's third line. Oct 13 |
| 5 | Micheal Haley ActiveMicheal Haley understands how coach Bob Boughner wants him to play this season. Haley played the past two seasons for the Sharks, where Boughner served as an assistant. "Boughner believes in in-your-face; that doesn't necessarily mean roughness, but always hunting, always chasing the puck, taking away their time and space," said Haley. "You don't want to come in here and think it's going to be an easy two points, an easy game. You know when you step on our ice surface we're going to be coming and be giving everything we got." He racked up 128 penalty minutes and 129 hits in 58 appearances last year. Jul 24 |
| RW | 1 | Evgenii Dadonov ActiveEvgenii Dadonov registered two assists in a 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Dadonov has a goal and five points in four contests this season. He emerged as a star in the KHL and so far it seems he'll be able to make a smooth transition back to the NHL. While he is a bit of a higher risk player, there is the potential that he could end up with 50-60 points in 2017-18. Oct 15 |
| 2 | Radim Vrbata ActiveRadim Vrbata registered his fourth assist in five games to start the 2017-18 season on Tuesday night. Vrbata earned the secondary helper on a power-play goal by Jamie McGinn in a 5-1 loss to Philadelphia. He recently moved up to the top line with Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov after starting the year alongside Vincent Trocheck. Oct 18 |
| 3 | Owen Tippett ActiveOwen Tippett will make his NHL debut in Tuesday's game against the Flyers. Tippett was the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. He was terrific during the preseason and that's why he's still around. The 18-year-old had 44 goals and 75 points in 60 games with OHL Mississauga last season. There's a good chance they'll send him back to junior at some point this season unless he starts lightning it up. Oct 17 |
| 4 | Colton Sceviour  SidelinedColton Sceviour was injured in Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh. Sceviour exited the match late in the third period after he took an elbow to the head from Pittsburgh's Patric Hornqvist. A penalty was not called on the play. Oct 15 |
| D | 1 | Aaron Ekblad ActiveAaron Ekblad picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis scored the game's first goal, but the Panthers answered with five unanswered goals the rest of the way. Ekblad helped set up Jared McCann's first-period goal on the power play to make it 3-1 Panthers. He also added one of his own in the second frame to extend his team's lead to 4-1. Ekblad finished the game with a plus-3 rating and three shots on goal in 20:20 of ice time. He now has one goal and two assists in three games this season. Oct 12 |
| 2 | Keith Yandle ActiveKeith Yandle is optimistic and eager to get going for the 2017-18 campaign. Yandle is looking forward to the upcoming season because the team will have healthy stars Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov back. He also likes that Dale Tallon is back in control of roster decisions. "Having Dale back in charge, I think that was the main thing that got everyone going," Yandle said. "You sense the power over the locker room that Dale can have. It's such a positive thing when you have a guy like Dale Tallon. Everyone respects him and everything he does for the team. Going into the season knowing he has our back, he has the team, and obviously that he hired great coaches too, it's a great thing." Jul 27 |
| 3 | Michael Matheson ActiveMichael Matheson has inked an eight-year contract with the Florida Panthers. The team didn't disclose financial terms, but it's reportedly worth a total of $39 million. "Mike is an important part of our team's young core and we are thrilled that he has decided to remain a Panther for the long term," GM Dale Tallon said. "He is a dynamic and intelligent defenseman with impeccable character and work ethic. Mike has developed into a difference maker on our blue line and will be an important player and leader for the Panthers for many years to come." His entry-level contract will expire after the 2017-18 season. Matheson has recorded 17 points in 86 career NHL contests. Oct 9 |
| 4 | Alex Petrovic ActiveThe Florida Panthers have signed Alex Petrovic to a one-year deal worth roughly $1.8 million, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie. Petrovic had one goal and 13 assists in 49 games with the Panthers last season. He doesn't provide much in terms of offense, but he can play a steady defensive game. Petrovic also tends to play with an edge to his game. The 25-year-old doesn't have any fantasy value going into next season. Jun 30 |
| 5 | Mark Pysyk ActiveMark Pysyk has the only goal so far among Florida's blueliners. It's only been two games so far for the Panthers, so others will start finding the scoresheet shortly. Pysyk has been paired with Michael Matheson this campaign. Keith Yandle, Aaron Ekblad and Alex Petrovic have contributed an assist apiece. Oct 12 |
| 6 | Ian McCoshen ActiveIan McCoshen got his first NHL goal in a 5-2 win over St. Louis on Thursday night. He got the Panthers on the board early in the second period shortly after Paul Stastny gave the Blues a 1-0 lead. McCoshen has five hits, two blocks and one point through three matches this year. Oct 13 |
| 7 | MacKenzie Weegar ActiveDefenseman MacKenzie Weegar was named a healthy scratch for the Panthers against the Flyers Tuesday. The defenseman has yet to play a game with Florida this year and isn't expected to have much fantasy value this year. He and Denis Malgin are both listed as healthy scratches. Oct 17 |
| G | 1 | Roberto Luongo ActiveRoberto Luongo allowed four goals on 38 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Luongo kept the Flyers off the board in the first period, but they exploded for four goals in the second frame. He's now given up four goals in two of his three outings this season. The veteran netminder has a 1-2-0 record with a 3.41 goals-against-average and a .901 save percentage. He's more of a number two goalie in standard fantasy leagues. Oct 17 |
| 2 | James Reimer ActiveJames Reimer made 29 saves against the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 4-3 loss Saturday night. For the second time this season, Reimer allowed four goals in a start. The netminder was already in a difficult situation facing the Pittsburgh Penguins, armed to the teeth with offensively-minded goal scorers. Oct 14 |
