The 2011–12 Florida Panthers season 19th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 14, 1993.[ 1]
The Panthers qualified for the playoffs, 12 years after their previous playoff appearance in the 2000 Stanley Cup playoffs , and also won their division for the first time. However, the Panthers could not further their progress, losing in the opening round to the New Jersey Devils . The Panthers had a 3–2 lead in the series before dropping games 6 and 7 to be eliminated from the playoffs.
Off-season [ ] On June 1, 2011, the Panthers introduced their new head coach, former NHL player Kevin Dineen .[ 2] Portland Pirates of the AHL .
Regular season [ ] See the game log below for detailed game-by-game season information. The Panthers had their first quality season in over a decade in 2011–12, having never finished above 3rd place in the Southeast Division since 1999–2000 . Despite losing more games than they won, competition for the Panthers within the Division was not fierce, and the team was in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference as the Southeast Division Leader throughout much of the season. Although the Panthers amassed more losses than wins, 18 of these losses were in overtime or a shootout (the highest number of any team in the NHL for the 2011–12 season), meaning Florida often gained a point even when they failed to come out on top.
Playoffs [ ] The Panthers clinched a playoff berth on April 5, 2012, securing the return of playoff hockey to South Florida for the first time in 12 years. The third-seeded Panthers had home ice advantage by virtue of winning their division, despite the sixth-seeded New Jersey Devils besting them in regular season point totals (102 to 94). The Devils won the first game of the series but the Panthers bounced back with a win in Game 2 to even the series as it headed to New Jersey. The Panthers would return the favor by winning Game 3, 4–3, but the Devils recorded a shutout in Game 4, 4–0. The Panthers returned home to play Game 5 and were one win away from winning their first post-season series since 1996 after notching a shutout of their own, 3–0. The series went back to New Jersey for the final time of the series, with the home team tying the series after winning Game 6 in overtime, the first extra period of the series. The seventh and deciding game went even longer than Game 6 after the Panthers managed to score two power-play goals in the third period to force overtime. The game—and series—was still even after the completion of one extra period. Less than four minutes into the second overtime, the first shot on goal by either team was recorded by Devils rookie center Adam Henrique and notched his second goal of the game and deciding goal of the series, eliminating the Panthers from the playoffs, 3–2.
