The Florida Panthers have existed for 33 seasons, and according to NHL.com statistics, 444 players and 41 goalies have skated in at least one game with the club.
Through the end of the 2025-26 season, multiple players have worn every jersey number from No. 1 to No. 48, with No. 49 becoming the lowest number in circulation, worn only once.
Meanwhile, no one in Panthers history has yet to wear No. 59, 66, 69, 80, 84, 87, 89, and of course No.99 since it was retired league-wide when Wayne Gretzky retired in April 1999. Currently, Florida has retired the Nos. 1, 37, and 93.
Heading into next season, players have worn 13 different jersey numbers only once, and today, we will look at those unique numbers.
#49 - Lance Ward (2001 - 2003)
Initially drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 1996, Lance Ward re-entered the 1998 Draft, and the Panthers selected him in the third round at 63rd overall. He played parts of three seasons with the club, collecting 11 points in 134 games, alternating between No. 47 and 49.
#64 - Stefan Meyer (2008)
As a second-round draft pick, 55th overall, in 2003, Stefan Meyer remains the only player in Panthers history to wear No. 64, skating in four games with the sweater during the 2007-08 season.
#75 - Scott Timmins (2011 - 2013)
Scott Timmins played 24 games with the Panthers in 2010-11 and 2012-13 after the club drafted him 165th overall in the 2009 Draft. He scored a single goal and had 12 penalty minutes in his brief stint in the league.
#78 - Maxim Mamin (2018 - 2022)

#79 - Cole Schwindt (2022 - Present)
Cole Schwindt was the 81st pick in the 2019 Draft and will forever have a place in Panthers history as part of the blockbuster deal that brought Matthew Tkachuk from the Calgary Flames. During his first three-game stint with Florida in 2021-22, he wore No. 79 and regained the sweater upon his return in 2025. Currently, he’s tallied seven points in 32 games.
#81 - Jonathan Marchessault (2017)
Former Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Marchessault wore No. 81 during his one season with the Panthers in 2016-17. At the time, he scored a personal-best 30 goals and 51 points before the Vegas Golden Knights selected him in the 2018 Expansion Draft, where he became a one-time 40-goal scorer.
