FORT LAUDERDALE - Let the fun begin.

Kicking off the 2025-26 season, the defending back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers will host the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday at Amerant Bank Arena at 5 p.m. ET.

Before officially wiping the slate clean, the team will raise their 2025 Stanley Cup banner ahead of puck drop.

“It’s something that you kind of look back at what you achieved, you’re proud of the achievement, but it gives you hunger to do it again,” Anton Lundell said after the team’s morning skate at Baptist Health IcePlex.

Following the season opener, the Panthers will continue their homestand against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday and Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
