Florida finished the regular season atop the Atlantic Division thanks to a 52-24-6 regular-season record.
The Panthers finished the regular season strong too, having recovered from a rough run that saw them lose four times in a five-game spell.
They shut out Ottawa in a 6-0 road win, and then responded to a 3-2 overtime loss in Boston with a run of four straight wins to close out the season.
Florida responded to that defeat with back-to-back shutout wins, downing Ottawa 2-0 and Columbus 4-0.
The Panthers then edged Buffalo 3-2 in overtime, before wrapping up the regular season with a 5-2 victory over Toronto.
