Antigen analysis on select Florida panther populations has shown evidence of feline immunodeficiency virus and puma lentivirus among certain individuals. The presence of these viruses is likely related to mating behaviors and territory sympatry. Although, since Florida panthers have lower levels of the antibodies produced in response to FIV, consistently positive results for the presence of infection is difficult to find. The National Park Service has identified mercury poisoning as a potential threat to panthers in south Florida after a female panther from the park died. “Devotion,” the historical epic about the real-life friendship of Korean War veterans starring Joe Jonas, sputtered along in fifth with $600,000 in sales.
On June 22, 2007, the Panthers were involved in yet another draft-day deal involving a goaltender. The team acquired Tomas Vokoun from the Nashville Predators in exchange for three draft picks – a first-round pick in 2008, a second-round pick in 2008 and a conditional second-round pick that can be used in 2007 or 2008. The move would eventually pay off when Vokoun was selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star Team. On July 28, 2007, Florida unveiled their new jerseys to over 11,000 fans at the BankAtlantic Center during the first intermission of the Panthers' 1996 Reunion game. Star forwards Nathan Horton and Stephen Weiss were both in full gear to help showcase the sweater changes.
Panthers' Aleksander Barkov: Returns Thursday
Heponiemi will likely return to the big club as soon as Lyon is returned to the minors.
If panthers can avoid Tampa and St. Petersburg, swim the Caloosahatchee River, cross state roads 27, 80, 70, 60 and Interstate 4, and stay away from Orlando, they will have a fighting chance. Federal, state and conservation lands will protect them as the habitat is managed for wildlife. Ranches comprise much of this rural land, where conservation easements protect excellent panther habitat. Military installations at Avon Park and Camp Blanding provide safe spaces too. Barkov has not played in two weeks as he had a rough go of things with pneumonia. He has five goals and 18 points in 19 games this season -- he picked up a goal and two assists in his last game aginst the Bruins on Nov. 23.

With the win, the Panthers improved to a stellar 56–15–6 record, tallying 118 points, and overcoming the Colorado Avalanche in the quest for the Presidents' Trophy. After an Avalanche defeat, and a Panthers 4–0 victory over the Ottawa Senators on April 28, the Panthers clinched the Presidents' Trophy for the first time in franchise history. They would end the regular season with 122 points, with a 58–18–6 record, the best record registered in the league since division rivals Tampa Bay Lightning in 2018–19. However, their luck would run out in the Second Round, as the Panthers were swept in four games by the archrival the Tampa Bay Lightning. Florida went completely dry offensively, scoring only three goals throughout the whole four-game series. The Panthers' first major stars were former New York Rangers goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck, rookie Rob Niedermayer and forward Scott Mellanby, who scored 30 goals in Florida's inaugural season.
During the shortened 2020–21 NHL season, the Panthers compiled 79 points in 56 games played, finishing the season in second place in the Atlantic Division, one point behind the Carolina Hurricanes. As such, they were pitted against division and statewide rival, the Tampa Bay Lightning, in the first round of the playoffs. They were defeated in 6 games to the eventual Stanley Cup champions, for yet another 1st round exit. The 2017–18 season began with a 19–22–6 record leading up to the 2018 NHL All-Star Game. The Panthers then went on a 25–8–2 run in their last 35 games, ending up one point short of a playoff berth. Their 44–30–8 record earned 96 regular season points, tying the league record of the 2014–15 Boston Bruins and the 2018–19 Montreal Canadiens for the team with the most regular season points to miss the postseason.

He's now with a 3.55 GAA and an .885 save percentage through 15 appearances this season. Knight has a record of this season with a 2.64 GAA and .919 save percentage. The two highest causes of mortality for individual Florida panthers are automobile collisions and territorial aggression between Florida panthers.
Said then-head coach Mike Keenan, "We shouldn't have done that ... Jay would have been number-one if we'd kept that pick." A very unusual goal celebration developed in Miami during the 1995–96 season. On the night of the Panthers' 1995–96 home opener, a rat scurried across the team's locker room. Scott Mellanby reacted by "one-timing" the rat against the wall, killing it. That night, he scored two goals, which Vanbiesbrouck quipped was "a rat trick." Two nights later, as the story found its way into the world, a few fans threw rubber rats on the ice in celebration of a goal.
Panthers' Aleksi Heponiemi: Sent to AHL affiliate
Despite finishing with a record of 38–29–15, the Panthers missed the 2015 playoffs by seven points. On December 8, 2015, the Panthers announced that they signed a 13-year lease, and an $86 million funding agreement with Broward County and would have a new logo and uniforms after the 2015–16 season. Their original logo had remained almost unchanged since their first season in 1993. On June 1, 2011, Kevin Dineen, head coach of the American Hockey League 's Portland Pirates, was named to be the 11th head coach of the Panthers. The 2011 off-season saw the acquisitions of Scottie Upshall, Tomas Fleischmann, Sean Bergenheim, Marcel Goc, Matt Bradley, Ed Jovanovski, Jose Theodore, Kris Versteeg, Tomas Kopecky and Brian Campbell.
The SRT identified serious problems with Maehr's literature, including poor citations and misrepresentation of data to support unsound conclusions. A Data Quality Act complaint brought by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility and Andrew Eller, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service , was successful in demonstrating that agencies continued to use incorrect information after it had been clearly identified as such. As a result of the DQA ruling, USFWS admitted errors in the science the agency was using and subsequently reinstated Eller, who had been fired by USFWS after filing the DQA complaint. In two white papers, environmental groups contended that habitat development was permitted that should not have been, and documented the link between incorrect data and financial conflicts of interest.

Ben McAdoo is a "big fan" of Seattle quarterback Geno Smith Dec 08, 2022 The Panthers' offensive coordinator has history with and respect for Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, whom he coached with the Giants. Heponiemi was sent down to make room for goaltender Alex Lyon on the roster, so it appears as though one of Florida's top two netminders may be dealing with an illness or an injury.
A panther uses the Bear Island Wildlife Crossing that connects Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge with Big Cypress National Preserve in 2019. FWC is the lead agency on the research and management of the Florida panther. In 50 years, the endangered Florida panther has made a long journey back from the brink of extinction. The population has rebounded from an estimated low of 10 animals to over 200 animals since it was put on the first Endangered species list in 1967. Florida panthers, usually wandering males, have occurred as vagrants outside of Florida.
It’s mostly rural, open land north of the river with privately owned properties and a mosaic of federal, state and conservation lands that together create critical corridors for panther recovery. It's not clear if Lundell would have been ready to return from his upper-body injury Thursday if he wasn't sick. When the 21-year-old is ready to return, he will likely serve on the second or third line. Tkachuk leads Florida this season with 37 points in 25 games, which puts him sixth overall in league scoring. There is a chance that Lundell will be ready for Sunday's contest versus Seattle. Bobrovsky coughed up four goals on 38 shots against the Lightning in his last outing and he's now allowed at least four goals in four of his last five starts.
The Panthers moved into the brand new National Car Rental Center (later Office Depot, BankAtlantic Center, and BB&T Center, now known as FLA Live Arena) in 1998. In 1998–99, they acquired Pavel Bure (the "Russian Rocket"), in a blockbuster trade with the Vancouver Canucks. They then reached the playoffs again in 1999–2000, losing in a first-round sweep to the eventual Stanley Cup champion New Jersey Devils. Afterward, Huizenga sold the Panthers to an ownership group led by Alan Cohen.
Panthers and Capitals skaters warming up prior to a game during the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs. Aleksander Barkov, drafted 2nd overall by the Panthers in 2013, would emerge as the franchise's captain and star during the late-2010s. With an established corridor the Florida panther can head northward on its journey to open lands and away from extinction. Recently, he took two of his granddaughters to the Polk County Commission meeting to propose a tax for conservation easements. He noted that 58,000 people had moved into the county in just the last year and development follows right behind them.
Other logos from the era included an alternate version of the "leaping panther" logo, this time holding a pair of broken hockey sticks, and a logo depicting a yellow sun behind a hockey stick and a palm tree. The "leaping panther" logo was redesigned and relegated to an alternate logo when the Panthers unveiled a new logo in the 2016–17 season. The current primary logo is a shield with the profile of a panther head below the word "Florida"; the same logo with the word "Panthers" above is also used interchangeably. On April 7, 2019, the Panthers fired Boughner after the team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight season.
