DeBoer At The Helm

Trade With Phoenix

| Florida acquires defensemen Keith Ballard and Nick Boynton as well as a second round pick (Colby Robak) from the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for the Panthers Olli Jokinen on June 20, 2008. Ballard later signs a six-year contract extension on September 9, 2008. |

Hat Tricks For Booth
|
| With his hat trick in Florida's 5-3 win against the St. Louis Blues on March 7, 2009, David Booth becomes the fourth Panthers player to record two hat tricks in a season. |
| |
Duo Reach Milestones
|
| Cory Stillman records the 250th goal of his career while Radek Dvorak registers the 500th point of his career at Dallas on March 28, 2009. |
| |
Way To End The Season
|
| Florida ends the season with a 7-4 victory over Washington but falls just short of the playoffs, losing on a tie-breaker to Montreal. Florida's 41 victories and 93 points are good enough for second most in franchise history (wins are tied for second most). David Booth becomes just the sixth player in Panthers history to score at least 30 goals in a season after netting two in the finale. |
