The Florida Panthers and Chicago Blackhawks kicked off a new hockey season on Tuesday night in Sunrise.
Florida, the NHL’s back-to-back defending Stanley Cup Champions, raised their 2025 championship banner before facing off against the young Blackhawks at Amerant Bank Arena.
It’s going to be a challenging campaign for the Panthers.
Before playing a single game, the Cats were already without three of the key players from their most recent championship run: Matthew Tkachuk, Tomas Nosek and team captain Sasha Barkov.
The Panthers were able to get things off on the right foot during Opening Night, defeating Chicago 3-2 in front of a packed house full of excited Cats fans.
After the game, The Hockey Show co-hosts Roy Bellamy and David Dwork broke down all the action.
