3 questions facing Florida Panthers

The Florida Panthers, back-to-back Stanley Cup champions in 2024 and 2025, face key questions heading into the upcoming season, most notably whether the Tkachuk brothers — Matthew and Brady — can elevate their play as NHL teammates after Florida acquired Brady from the Ottawa Senators on June 21. The brothers previously played together for Team USA at the 4 Nations Face-off and the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, where they helped win gold. Another major question is how the Panthers will replace goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who was a central figure in their championship runs but has since departed.
