National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman is about to put out another fire, the Post has learned.

A buyer for the money-losing Florida Panthers has been found and a deal should be announced within the next few weeks, two sources close to the situation said.

“It’s imminent,” one of the sources said.

The buyers are from New York, though their identities could not be immediately confirmed.
