MIAMI, FL -- FOX Sports Florida and Sunrise Sports & Entertainment jointly announced today the Florida Panthers' 2013-2014 NHL regular season television broadcast schedule featuring 78 games broadcast in HD on the network.
FOX Sports Florida will start the season on the road as the Panthers travel to Dallas to take on the Stars. Coverage will start at 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 3. PANTHERS LIVE, FOX Sports Florida's pregame show for home games, and extended postgame show for all home and road broadcasts, will provide viewers with an in-depth look at the team before they hit the ice versus their opponents.
Play-by-play announcer Steve "Goldie" Goldstein returns, alongside 14-year NHL veteran Bill Lindsay as color analyst, to provide viewers with expert commentary throughout the season.
The popular INSIDE THE PANTHERS series returns and will feature player profiles and episodes offering behind-the-scenes access to other aspects of the team and its operations -- all designed to bring the fans closer to their favorite team.
