Florida Panthers
The Florida Panthers category covers the NHL club's games, injuries, trades, roster moves, prospects and Stanley Cup pursuits. Florida Sports Blog also connects the Panthers' development system to this category, with AHL affiliate Charlotte and ECHL affiliate Savannah organized beneath the NHL parent club. The Panthers were awarded an NHL expansion franchise in 1992 and began play in the 1993-94 season, taking their name from the endangered Florida panther. Florida made a surprise run to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996 and returned to the Final in 2023 before breaking through with Stanley Cup championships in 2024 and 2025. That rise transformed the Panthers from a long-suffering expansion club into one of the NHL's defining teams of the mid-2020s.
