The 2023–24 Florida Panthers season was the 30th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established in 1993. They entered the season as the defending Eastern Conference champions, having lost in five games to the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals.

On March 28, 2024, the Panthers clinched a playoff berth for the fifth straight season following the Detroit Red Wings' 4–0 loss against the Carolina Hurricanes.^[1] On April 16, the Panthers clinched their third Atlantic Division title and fourth all-time division title following the win against the Toronto Maple Leafs alongside a Boston Bruins loss to the Ottawa Senators.^[2]

The Panthers averaged 18,632 fans in attendance this season.^[3] This mark is the highest average attendance in team history.^[4]

The Panthers met the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.^[5] The Panthers and Lightning previously met in the playoffs twice, with Tampa Bay winning both series.^[6] The Panthers eliminated the Lightning in five games.^[7] They faced the Boston Bruins in the second round, winning the series in six games.^[8] The Panthers defeated the New York Rangers in the conference finals in six games, advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second consecutive season.^[9]

In the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals series matchup against the Edmonton Oilers, the Panthers initially held a 3–0 lead before experiencing defeats in the following three games. The Panthers defeated the Oilers 2–1 in Game 7 at home, averting a possible reverse sweep, which would have made Florida the first team to suffer this fate since Detroit in the 1942 Stanley Cup Finals. This victory clinched the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship in its 30 years of existence.^[10]

Previous season

After barely clinching a wild card spot in the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Panthers were set to face the Boston Bruins, who had set a NHL record for most wins and points in a season. After being down 3–1 in the series, the Panthers came back and won the series in overtime in Game 7 to pull off one of the biggest upsets in NHL history.^[11] The Panthers would then upset the Toronto Maple Leafs to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 27 years.^[12] Subsequently, the Panthers would sweep the Carolina Hurricanes to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1996.^[13] In the Stanley Cup Finals, the Panthers were defeated by the Vegas Golden Knights in five games.^[14] Coupled with the Miami Heat's defeat one night earlier in the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets (which was also decided in five games), South Florida had two teams lose their respective sport's finals on consecutive days.^[15]

30th anniversary celebrations

In July 2023, the Florida Panthers announced celebrations for their 30th Anniversary season including the unveiling of the club's 30th Anniversary logo.^[16] The Panthers celebrated thirty years of Panthers hockey with a theme night honoring each decade. On January 11 as the Panthers hosted the Los Angeles Kings, fans celebrated the birth of the franchise in the 1990s. On March 7 versus the Philadelphia Flyers, the 2000s were spotlighted and on March 28 versus the New York Islanders, game presentation and in-game themes highlighted the 2010s into the current era.

Notes

1. The Florida Panthers' first-round pick will go to the Montreal Canadiens as the result of a trade on March 16, 2022, that sent Ben Chiarot to Florida in exchange for Ty Smilanic, a conditional fourth-round pick in 2022 and this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).^[171] The condition – Montreal will receive a first-round pick in 2023 if Florida's first-round pick in 2022 is outside of the top ten selections^[172] – was converted when the Panthers qualified for the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs on April 3, 2022.^[173]
