What happened: Jacob Markstrom is headed back to Florida after the Panthers acquired the veteran goaltender from the Devils. The move comes with word that Sergei Bobrovsky's run as Florida's netminder is ending.

Why it matters: Bobrovsky backstopped the franchise through its recent contending window, so turning the crease over to Markstrom marks a real shift for the 2026-27 season. Paired with the earlier addition of Akira Schmid, Florida is reshaping its entire goaltending picture heading into camp.

What to watch: Watch how Florida splits starts between Markstrom and Schmid, and where Bobrovsky lands next.
