The Florida Panthers are a professional ice hockey team based in Sunrise, Florida, United States. The Panthers are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Hockey League (NHL). The team was founded as an expansion franchise on December 10, 1992.[1]

By the end of the 2023–24 season, 39 goaltenders and 418 skaters (forwards and defensemen) have appeared in at least one regular-season game with the Panthers. In 2024, the Panthers had their most successful season, winning the Stanley Cup in their fifth consecutive playoff appearance; however, as the Panthers had previously made the playoffs only five times in their first 25 seasons, a comparatively low total of 11 goaltenders and 133 skaters have appeared in playoff games for Florida.

Six individual Panthers have received a major individual NHL trophy on nine occasions; Pavel Bure won the Maurice "Rocket" Richard Trophy twice, first after the 1999–2000 season and again the following season.[2] Both Jonathan Huberdeau and Aaron Ekblad were awarded the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's rookie of the year.[3] Aleksander Barkov later won the Frank J. Selke Trophy twice, in 2020–21 and 2023–24. Additionally, Brian Campbell and Barkov have each won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, in 2011–12 and 2018–19, respectively, while Jaromir Jagr won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in 2015–16. In 2008, Igor Larionov (2000–2001) was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, becoming the first former Panther player to receive such an honor.[4]

On October 24, 2007, Olli Jokinen scored two goals against the Philadelphia Flyers to become the franchise's then-all-time leader in both goals and points. Both marks were previously held by Scott Mellanby.[5] Jokinen also became the all-time leader in assists, surpassing Robert Svehla.[6] However, with the Panthers' struggles to make the playoffs, Jokinen never played a playoff game for the franchise. His records were later surpassed by Aleksander Barkov, who now serves as the franchise's active and all-time leader in games played, goals, assists, and points, as well as playoff assists and points; Carter Verhaeghe holds the playoff goals record. Paul Laus owns the record for most regular-season penalty minutes, while Matthew Tkachuk holds the playoff record.

The Panthers' all-time goaltender records are primarily held by two players. Roberto Luongo holds the franchise regular-season records for games played, wins, losses, ties, and shutouts. As a result of being the starting goaltender for the Panthers' repeated playoff appearances between 2020 and 2024, including their Stanley Cup victory in 2024, Sergei Bobrovsky holds all of the Panthers playoff records, most by a wide margin.
