SUNRISE, Fla. — Bob Boughner said he may be “the only guy in the world who doesn’t do social media,” but admits to sneaking a peek at his wife’s phone every now and then to see what folks are talking about.

Fans of the Florida Panthers have not been happy with the way this season has started.

Boughner understands their disappointment and isn’t pleased with it, either.

Is he feeling the pressure?

“Every day,” he said with a hearty laugh.

Any thoughts Boughner’s job is in jeopardy right now appear to be unfounded.

Numerous sources within the organization said there has been no talk nor thought of replacing Boughner despite Florida’s slow start.

Boughner said following Monday’s 4-3 overtime win against the visiting Devils that Florida owner Vinnie Viola and general manager Dale Tallon have given him nothing but support.

“The pressure that’s there is internal, pressure we put on ourselves,” Boughner said after Florida rallied from a two-goal deficit in the second period and forced overtime late in the third to help snap a three-game slide.

“I’m not getting pressure from anywhere else. Vinnie has been unbelievable; Dale has been unbelievable. They know what’s going on, what we’re going through. We’re trying to stay positive as heck because we have to get through this. But it comes with the territory. We all know that. You can make all the excuses you want, but we all know — at the end of the day, it’s about wins and losses. That’s the bottom line.”

Viola has been back in South Florida since the Breeders’ Cup ended earlier this month and has been paying close attention to his hockey team, watching home games from atop the arena with Tallon and other members of the hockey operations department.

By all accounts, Viola is being patient and is prepared to let things play out.

This hasn’t always been the case.

Boughner, after all, is the fifth coach of the Panthers since Viola bought the team prior to the 2013-14 season.

Kevin Dineen, who came with the Panthers when Viola took the keys, was canned 16 games into that season in the midst of a seven-game losing streak.

Gerard Gallant was the most famous of the Viola firings as he was let go in Carolina (without a ride to the airport) 22 games into the 2016-17 season not long after leading Florida to its best regular season in franchise history.

Tom Rowe, the short-term general manager who replaced Gallant behind the bench, didn’t return after a disastrous season punctuated by a fan paying for a banner plane calling for Rowe’s firing to circle the arena before a game.

Boughner was hired a few months later and is in the early stages of his second season with the Panthers.

Florida is 9-9-4 in its first 22 this season.

“We all know, the fans know, we should be better than we are. We need to be better. We can be better,” captain Sasha Barkov said. “Everyone in here knows we can be confident in what we have. We have a really good team. We just need to play the way we can, eliminate the mistakes. It all starts with a win. We just need to keep it up.”

On Monday, the Panthers desperately needed a victory after starting the day in the Eastern Conference cellar.

The two points not only halted a three-game skid (Florida had lost five of six), but the Panthers pulled closer to Montreal for the final playoff spot in the east.

Florida realizes it is not too far off the pace with plenty of games to go.

Tallon realizes this. Apparently, Viola does as well.

Losing goalie Roberto Luongo (twice) and star center Vincent Trocheck to injury for a large period of time hasn’t helped Boughner or the Panthers.

They hope this eight-game homestand — they’re 1-0-1 so far — gets them right back into the thick of things.

“If you make rash decisions … look at our schedule right now. If we have some success at home in the next week and a half, we’re in a real good spot,” he said. “We have to keep plugging away and getting points. … That is all we’re worried about.

“We’re coming to work to make this team better every day. There is no external pressure whatsoever. Take away your goalie and one of your best players and just about every team is going to struggle a bit.”

Monday night, not long removed from watching the Blackhawks force overtime in the final two seconds on Saturday before pulling out an improbable victory, the Panthers found themselves down 3-2 after a deflected puck got past goalie James Reimer.

The Panthers made a hard charge in the final minutes, with Jonathan Huberdeau tying it up with 1:29 left to go after goalie James Reimer went to the bench.

Rookie Dryden Hunt had a chance to win it in the final minute but he hit the post as he came down on a breakaway, saving Keith Kinkaid for the moment.

In overtime, Mike Hoffman appeared to score, his shot sending the Panthers into a celebration as streams of ribbons fell from the rafters.

Only Hoffman hit the cage as well, postponing the party.

He scored on the next trip down the ice, however, slamming a Huberdeau offering from his favorite spot in the right circle to end it 1:28 into the extra session.

“Hey, we won,” said Reimer, who made 29 saves. “We need points right now. We need to keep building, take advantage of this home stretch.

“We can look back [at Chicago] now and say we got three out of four points. We need to keep that going and see where we’re at when it’s all over. It’s always good to get back on the right track. The guys deserved to win.”

Hoffman is new to hockey in the Tropics, but he knows this team has expectations. He said they have the opportunity in front of them to turn things around.

“Every team’s goal when the season starts is to make the playoffs and give yourself the chance to fight for the Stanley Cup,” Hoffman said. “It’s a long season and we’re 22 games in. We have a big chunk of the season in front of us.”

Celebrate 100

Huberdeau’s goal with 1:29 remaining was the 100th of his career and fifth of the season.

After the win, Huberdeau said the two points were most welcomed.

“It feels good and should be good for our confidence,” he remarked from the Florida locker room. “We need a lot more.”

Huberdeau had been sitting on No. 99 since Nov. 11.

“I probably should have scored it sooner,” he said.

McCann rolling

With Trocheck out at least a couple months after having ankle surgery, Jared McCann is getting more and more responsibility.

He’s deserving of it.

McCann scored the tying goal in the second period — his fourth of the season but his third in the past five games. McCann has scored in consecutive games.

— Florida’s power play kicked in again Monday as Barkov scored in the waning seconds of a 5-on-3 chance in the second period. The Panthers have scored at least one goal with the advantage in 12 of the past 13 games.

Florida also has been giving up goals while on the power play as the shorthanded goal scored by Blake Coleman in the second period was the fifth surrendered this season.
