Good morning and welcome to "Cats & Coffee," a weekly segment, presented by Koffee Kult, in which we serve up an exciting look at what's on deck for your Florida Panthers. Like our friends at Koffee Kult, this forecast serves up only the best -- so sit back, sip and enjoy our latest brew of news, notes and information.

The Florida Panthers need your help at the ballot box!

With voting open for the 2020 NHL Fan Choice Awards, the Panthers are currently competing in three categories: Stanley C. Panther for "Best Mascot," BB&T Center for "Best Building," and, of course, defenseman Keith Yandle appears to be the frontrunner for the NHL's "Funniest Player."

Earlier this season, Yandle was dubbed the "Funniest Player" by his peers in an NHLPA poll.

"I'm been working my balloon animals quite a bit," Yandle joked on a recent TSN interview.

Fans are encouraged to vote at https://www.nhl.com/fans/nhl-fan-choice-awards/ through June 1 and also share their selections on social media using the official hashtag #NHLFanChoice.

The winners of the 20 categories will be announced on June 3, 2020.

MORE BURE REWINDS

The Russian Rocket took off last week.

Now we get to watch him in orbit for a bit.

After highlighting Pavel Bure's successful debut with the Panthers in 1999 and his impressive four-goal game in 2000, FOX Sports Florida will continue its ongoing "Panthers Rewind" series this week with two more games centered around the incredibly dynamic Hall-of-Fame forward.

On Thursday, the network will re-air a game from Jan. 22, 2000 in which Bure netted his 300th career goal. Of the 437 goals he scored in his career, 152 of them came in a Panthers jersey.

Then, on Sunday, fans can watch one of Bure's most-dominating performances of his career from Feb. 10, 2001. In that game, he notched five points (including four goals) against Atlanta.

During each broadcast, a few surprises are also to be expected on social media, so make sure to stay tuned to @FlaPanthers and @FOXPanthers on Twitter throughout the classic contests.

Also, keep an eye out for new digital episodes of "Inside the Panthers: At Home" each week.

And in an awesome turn of events, the latest episode featured the man himself, Pavel Bure!

WALLMARK'S CHECK-IN

It's been a wild few months for Lucas Wallmark.

From being traded to the Panthers to riding out the COVID-19 pandemic back home in Sweden, the 24-year-old forward talked about his travels in the latest entry of the "Cats Check-In" series.

"It's been a lot," Wallmark said. "I was really happy to come to Florida. I know it's a really great group of guys. I felt really welcome from the first day. That made everything a lot easier. "With [the pandemic], it's a bad time right now all over the world. You just have to deal with it and get through it. Hopefully, we can get back to normal [eventually]."

When things do start to get back to normal, Wallmark hopes to be in the playoffs.

"I'm super excited," Wallmark said. "It's hard to not play when you've been playing so many games. You want to finish the season. You want to get into the playoffs. That's the best time of the year. That's what you want to do."
