FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Bally Sports Florida, the network home of the Florida Panthers, announced plans to produce and televise 75 Panthers games during the 2022-23 National Hockey League season.
The puck drops with a special one-hour extended pregame show set for 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 13, ahead of the Panthers season opener at the New York Islanders. All other games broadcast by Bally Sports Florida, home and away, will be preceded by a half-hour “Panthers Live” pregame show. Extended postgame coverage will follow each telecast.
Panthers games and programming airing on Bally Sports Florida will also stream live on the Bally Sports app, available on mobile and tablet devices (including iOS and Android), connected devices, and BallySports.com when fans authenticate using their pay-TV credentials. New this season, Panthers games and coverage will also be available on Bally Sports+, the all-new standalone streaming subscription service from Bally Sports. Fans can visit BallySportsPlus.com to learn more and subscribe.
Winners of their first Presidents’ Trophy in team history, the Panthers last season had their highest local TV ratings on Bally Sports Florida in nearly two decades.
Play-by-play announcer Steve “Goldie” Goldstein returns for his 15th season as the TV voice for Panthers hockey, while former Panthers defenseman and 13-year NHL veteran Randy Moller is back as color analyst, providing viewers with expert insight. This season marks four years together in the broadcast booth for the Goldstein-Moller pairing, which was ranked among the best in the league in a poll of NHL fans conducted last year by The Athletic.
“Panthers Live” hosts Jessica Blaylock and Craig Minervini will be joined once again by a pair of familiar blueliners. Former Panthers captain Ed Jovanovski and ex-NHL defenseman Jeff Chychrun return for their fourth season as pregame, postgame and intermission analysts.
Katie Engleson joins the broadcast team in her first season as in-game and digital reporter. Engleson, who grew up in Parkland, spent the past four years as a host and reporter at Bally Sports Southwest.
The popular “Inside the Panthers” series returns and will feature player profiles and behind-the-scenes access to other aspects of the team and its operations – all designed to bring the fans closer to their favorite team. This season’s premiere episode, “Inside the Panthers: Setting the Tone,” will debut at 6 p.m. on Thursday night ahead of the extended pregame show. Future episodes will be announced before their premiere dates.
