The 2005–06 Florida Panthers season was their 12th season in the National Hockey League. The Panthers failed to qualify for the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.
Just prior to the start of the regular season it was announced Olli Jokinen would remain team captain and Chris Gratton, Sean Hill, Joe Nieuwendyk, and Gary Roberts would rotate as alternate captains.[1]
The Panthers were shut out a league-high 8 times and had the fewest power-play opportunities of all 30 teams, with 411.[2] [3]
