Florida Panthers 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
Not that long ago, it was as if the Florida Panthers didn’t exist. South Florida ignored its hockey team, which was a perpetual loser that played before empty seats. At the same time, Paul Maurice looked as if he was winding down his coaching career without a Stanley Cup. However, after years as one of the worst NHL franchises, the Panthers have remained among the best. The Panthers were coming off two consecutive appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. In the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Panthers won their second consecutive Stanley Cup championship, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 in the Final. Now, Maurice is celebrated as the best coach in hockey.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Jeff Petry, Daniil Tarasov
Out: Nate Schmidt, Vitek Vanecek
The defending back-to-back champs are basically running it back. Be very afraid that the Panthers only lost two goals of value and were able to keep all three of their key free agents: Sam Bennett, Brad Marchand, and Aaron Ekblad. Florida looked likely to be at the bottom of this list after the parade ended, and management’s ability to minimize the damage has been commendable.
The only notable difference here is Jeff Petry in to take Nate Schmidt’s role. It’s a downgrade given what Schmidt was able to do for the Panthers last season, but a small one. Petry wasn’t great in Detroit’s top four, but should be adequate in a sheltered role.
Florida GM Bill Zito gets top marks for somehow keeping all the key pieces of the Panthers' recent Stanley Cup runs off the open market. And there's no doubt Zito was aided by willing participants who left millions on the table by not exploring their options elsewhere. Winning has that sort of appeal.
The Panthers' depth has been a key asset during long postseason runs, and Florida is well-positioned again, thanks to Zito's savvy business moves, which will enable the team to remain elite over the next 12 months. Honestly, he couldn't have done much more to give Florida a chance to create a true dynasty.
Key Players
Sam Reinhart, age 28, has been with the Panthers since 2021. In 2024, Reinhart exploded for 57 goals, 37 assists, and 94 points. This past season, Reinhart recorded 39 goals, 42 assists, 81 points, and a plus-6 rating.
Matthew Tkachuk, age 26, scored 26 goals, 62 assists, and 88 points in 2024. Tkachuk had 22 goals, 35 assists, and 57 points last year.
Goaltenders
Number one goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, age 35, will forever be a Florida Panthers legend. Bobrovsky backstopped the Panthers to the 2024 Stanley Cup championship. In 2024, he was 36-17-4 with a 2.37 goals against average and a .915 save percentage with six shutouts. This year, his goals-against average was 2.44 with a .906 save percentage. Bobrovsky was 33-19-5 with five shutouts. And he has a second Stanley Cup ring.
Head Coach
Head coach Paul Maurice, 57, finally reached the pinnacle of pro hockey last year. In a coaching career that began with the Hartford Whalers in 1995, Maurice finally achieved his life’s dream with a Stanley Cup—his career record is 916-765-99-148 including 141-85-18 at Florida.

Florida Panthers History
The Panthers were founded as an expansion team in 1993-94, alongside the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Owner Vincent Viola has spent several years and a lot of money trying to dig the franchise out of the muck. He has finally succeeded.
Attendance for the Panthers has been low for most of the past two decades, but it has increased with their recent success. Like the rest of the NHL, Florida has had to navigate the pandemic issues that have kept attendance down in many markets, even after restrictions loosened. The pandemic came at the worst possible time for the Panthers, as they were finally starting to show significant improvement.
The Panthers' years of losing created an opportunity for several years of high draft picks. For the past two seasons, we have seen improvements stemming from that new blood. Florida had a golden opportunity in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs to win over new fans and expand its customer base. It helps that they play an exciting and winning style of hockey. The Panthers are easy on the eyes as one of the NHL’s most entertaining teams.
But Florida flopped badly in the second round of the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Help arrived that summer with the arrival of power forward Keith Tkachuk and new head coach Paul Maurice.
And a berth in the Stanley Cup Final made 2023 a year to remember. However, in 2024, the Panthers became immortal with their Stanley Cup championship, followed by a repeat in 2025.
