NHL Season Will Feature Florida Threepeat Bid and Return to Winter Olympics
The Florida Panthers aim to become the first NHL team in over 40 years to win three straight Stanley Cups amid injuries and NHL’s Olympic return.
- On Oct. 7, the NHL season opens with Connor McDavid entering his final contract year while chasing his first championship after Kirill Kaprizov's record $136 million deal raised contract attention.
- The Florida Panthers are attempting a rare threepeat, facing long-odds obstacles after Aleksander Barkov’s knee injury and Matthew Tkachuk’s surgery threaten their bid, unseen since the New York Islanders’ 1980-83 run.
- Ahead of the Olympics in Milan, Italy, 909 NHL games will be played, then 403 more after a two-week Olympic break, with outdoor games in Florida on Jan. 2 and Feb. 1.
- BetMGM Sportsbook lists the Panthers 11-1 to win the Cup, behind Edmonton and Vegas, with Florida retaining key players Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, and Brad Marchand after a record salary cap increase.
- Veteran milestones and international showcases add texture to the upcoming campaign as Alex Ovechkin nears 900 career goals, two games in Sweden in November occur, and nine coaching changes include Joel Quenneville's return.
