Ed Jovanovski - D - Florida Panthers
Jan. 18, 2013 - 12:20 PM ET

Ed Jovanovski has been selected as the Florida Panthers' team captain.

Although Jovanovski is entering just the second season of his latest stint with the team, he has a long history with Florida. The Panthers originally took him with the first overall pick in the 1994 NHL entry draft, but ultimately traded him to the Vancouver Canucks in 1999. Jovanovski found success in Vancouver and Phoenix before signing a four-year deal with Florida that will run through the 2014-15 campaign.
