The Florida Panthers host the Dallas Stars in an NHL regular-season game on 16 November 2026 (01:00 UTC). Both arrive with near-identical records — Florida at 11-7-2 and Dallas at 10-6-2 — placing the fixture inside a tight cluster of the standings.
Panthers' 11-7-2 start to the NHL season
Florida's 11-7-2 line covers 20 games and equals 24 points under the standard NHL system. The two extra-time defeats keep the club above .500 on points percentage while leaving room to climb.
Stars' 10-6-2 record and games in hand
Dallas sits at 10-6-2 — 22 points from 18 games. Because the Stars have played two fewer games, points percentage is the more informative comparison, and a result here would shift the clubs' relative positions.
Panthers vs Stars: what the fixture tests
The game pairs two teams separated by a couple of points, so it works as a direct standings check rather than a mismatch. Lineups, starting goaltenders and injury news are typically confirmed closer to puck drop.
