Florida Panthers president Michael Yormark looked as if he had been called into the principal’s office for good portions of Tuesday’s meeting with the Broward County Commission.

The Panthers had the worst record in the NHL but got the No. 2 choice in the draft after the Avs drew the top pick in the draft lottery.

The Panthers got off to a great start and finished up strong with victories in their season opener and finale. The middle 46 games of this abbreviated season, however, were mostly ones to forget. The Panthers won just 15 games and finished in last place for the first time. At least the season only lasted three-plus months.

Before speaking to the media Sunday afternoon, Stephen Weiss pulled off his baseball cap and tossed it into the locker stall that used to have his name on it.

The Panthers beat the Lightning in the Southeast’s final game, and Tampa Bay’s Martin St. Louis won the league’s scoring title.

Despite basically being locked down in a dark room because of severe headaches stemming from a concussion, Peter Mueller said he never doubted he would return to the NHL.

With the loss Thursday, the Panthers will finish the season ranked last in the NHL for the first time in franchise history.

Goalie Jacob Markstrom helped the Panthers snap a six-game losing streak and slow the Rangers’ playoff push.

Nick Bjugstad has gone from the NCAA postseason straight to the demanding schedule of the NHL.

The Panthers, as has been their pattern lately, kept it close for much of the game, but they fell to the Bruins — their sixth consecutive loss.

The Panthers scored twice in its first four shots against the Devils, but were unable to hold on and lost 6-2.

The Panthers found out late Friday night that their game Sunday against the Bruins will be played as scheduled.

The Panthers gave up three goals in the final four minutes and could finish the season last in the Eastern Conference with five games left.

With all the injuries the Panthers have endured this season, coach Kevin Dineen hasn’t had to worry about two of his players.

The Islanders, closing in on ending a five-year playoff drought, built a 3-0 lead in the first period, and the Panthers couldn’t battle back.

Even though their playoff hopes have faded, the Panthers still want to win. But their most formidable enemy may come from within.

Coach Kevin Dineen has seen improved play from Scottie Upshall, who has struggled since joining the Panthers.

Pittsburgh had no problem continuing its winning ways by beating Florida with Evgeni Malkin on the bench.
