Florida Panthers announce that a limited number of fans will be allowed at all home games this season

The Florida Panthers will not be deterred by the pandemic. Taking advantage of lax rules from the state of Florida, the Panthers will allow fans to attend all 28 home games during the NHL’s 2020-21 season.

According to the team, BB&T Center will have a capacity of about 25 percent, meaning about 5,000 spectators can attend. Fans will receive a health screening before entering and will be mandated to wear masks at all times.

Report: To make room for Alex Pietrangelo, Vegas will trade Nate Schmidt to Florida Panthers (UPDATED)

Former St Blues defender Alex Pietrangelo has been the prize of free agency, and he’s been extensively courted by the Vegas Golden Knights. But the Knights are only a couple million under the salary cap, so they’ve got to clear some space before they sign Pietrangelo for big dollars. On Sunday night, Fox Sports Midwest reporter Andy Strickland said that Vegas will trade defender Nate Schmidt to the Florida Panthers to make that space.

UPDATE, 8:45 PM: Somewhat contradicting the earlier report, TSN’s Pierre LeBrun says the Panthers do not have a deal in play for Schmidt.

Nate Schmidt has not been traded to Florida. Which is not to suggest he won’t be traded. He’s in play. But the Panthers haven’t dealt for him.

Mites on Ice don turkey costumes, chant ‘gobble gobble’, unleash chaos

The Washington Capitals beat the Florida Panthers, and that’s fine, but you’re here to see children dressed up like turkeys and skating around like turkeys with their heads cut off, except cuter.

That’s precisely what happened during Tuesday’s intermission as the Caps brought back their beloved Thanksgiving tradition of trying and failing to get adolescents to feel embarrassed. They can’t. They’re immune. Gobble gobble.

Happy Capsgiving: Caps beat Panthers 4-3

The Washington Capitals hosted Brett Connolly back home for the first time since the forward signed with the Florida Panthers over the offseason. Conno was mean and scored against the Caps.

After a bunch of early penalties, the Capitals got on the board first via a fancy Alex Ovechkin goal. Conno tied it the next period, beating Braden Holtby on a breakaway. Richard Panik, who was probably offside, lobbed a shot past Sergei Bobrovsky in the final minute of the second period, but the Capitals let the Panthers tie it 22 seconds later. In the third, Lars Eller potted a Jakub Vrana rebound, and Brendan Leipsic scored on a breakaway. Vincent Trochek got the Panthers within one, but that’s all she wrote.

Caps beat Panthers 4-3.
