The wait is finally over … your Cats are back!

Following a perfect 5-0-0 road trip that started in New York and ended in Finland, the Florida Panthers are eager to kick off a homestand at Amerant Bank Arena this week.

“Looking forward to it,” head coach Paul Maurice said.

Cruising into the week on a five-game winning streak, the Panthers currently sit atop the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference with an outstanding early-season record of 9-3-1.

Easing back into their normal routine after sweeping the Dallas Stars at the 2024 Global Series, the Panthers will play just two games this week back in their own barn.

After hosting the Nashville Predators (4-7-1) on Thursday, they’ll face the Philadelphia Flyers (4-7-1) on Saturday while celebrating their annual Military Appreciation Night.
