Florida Panthers Record – Last Season Recap

It was an unforgettable season for Florida. The Florida Panthers’ record in 2023-24 was a stark improvement from 2022-23 outside of winning the Stanley Cup. Florida improved significantly going from 92 points to 110 and finishing the job. It easily went over its regular-season point total per the NHL odds.

Final 2023-24 Record:

The Panthers’ 110 points easily went past its preseason points projection of 98.5. Florida won 52 games, which is 10 more than the 42 from the previous year. The team improved significantly on defense by allowing 73 fewer goals than in 2022-23.

Top Performers:

Sam Reinhart had a breakout season in 2023-24. He posted 57 goals and 94 points, which blew away his 2022-23 totals of 31 and 67, respectively. Additionally, Florida got stellar goaltending from Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz, combining for a .918 save percentage and 33.2 goals saved above average.

Florida Panthers Trades (Additions and Subtractions)

Florida made plenty of off-season NHL news. Like most Stanley Cup winners, the Panthers lost plenty of key players. This was inevitable as Florida needed to keep plenty of its star players.

Key Departures:

F Vladimir Tarasenko
F Kyle Okposo
F Nick Cousins
F Ryan Lomberg
D Brandon Montour
D Oliver Ekman-Larsson
G Anthony Stolarz

Key Additions:

F Tomas Nosek
D Adam Boqvist
D Nate Schmidt
G Chris Driedger

There was one Florida Panthers trade and it only involved draft picks. Florida’s biggest departures came via free agency as the likes of Stolarz, Tarasenko, and Montour signed with new teams.

Panthers Prediction for the 2024-25 NHL Season

Florida enters the new season with lofty expectations. The Panthers look to join their Floridian rivals, Tampa Bay, as back-to-back champions. Florida has short Stanley Cup odds as they look to make a third straight trip to the Final.

Regular Season Wins Prediction

Expect another strong season given the Florida Panthers predictions from the sportsbook. The preseason regular-season points tally Florida at 102.5 points. The Panthers finished 100+ points only three times in its history though two occurred in the last three seasons.

Playoff Chances

The Panthers should make the postseason again given its NHL Playoff odds. Injuries and bad luck could make for a disappointing season though. This almost happened in 2022-23 when Florida was the last Eastern Conference team to qualify.

Key Players to Watch

The top Florida Panthers pick to break out is Anton Lundell. He was a first-round pick in 2020 and is still just 23 years old. He may just outdo his career-high of 44 points in a season. In goal, bank on Spencer Knight to put together a solid campaign next to Bobrovsky.

Coaching Analysis

Florida enters Year 3 under Paul Maurice. The 57-year-old finally won a Stanley Cup after over 940 wins as a head coach. If he can lead Florida to another title, he’ll be only the fifth coach to win multiple cups since 2002.
