SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Panthers will open the 2016-17 season at home against the New Jersey Devils.
The Panthers begin the season at the BB&T Center for four of its first five games, hosting the Devils, Detroit Red Wings, Washington Capitals and Colorado Avalanche. Their only road trip during that span is across the state to Tampa Bay to face the Thunder.

In fact, the Panthers don't leave the state until Oct. 25 at Pittsburgh, the first of a four-game road trip.
Florida travels to New York on Nov. 20 to take on the Rangers in a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference playoff series.
The Atlantic Division champions will host Pittsburgh on Dec. 8. The Penguins won the Stanley Cup earlier this month.
Florida ends with three of its final four opponents at home.
