Matthew Tkachuk To Miss Remainder Of Regular Season
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (groin) will not return to action for the remainder of the 2024-25 regular season, the team announced on Monday. He has missed four games due to a groin injury sustained during the 4 Nations Face-Off. "Matthew's going to be out for an extended period. We hope to have him back for the playoffs," Panthers general manager Bill Zito told reporters on Monday. Tkachuk ends the campaign with 57 points (22 goals, 35 assists) in 52 games. Mackie Samoskevich has joined the top six and the first power-play unit during Tkachuk's absence.
Matthew Tkachuk Placed On Long-Term Injured Reserve
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (groin) was placed on long-term Injured Reserve Sunday. He has missed four games due to a groin injury, and it remains uncertain when the Panthers will have their star winger back. Tkachuk is the team's second-highest scorer with 57 points, having tallied 22 goals and 35 assists in 52 appearances. During Tkachuk's absence, Mackie Samoskevich has filled a top-six role. Samoskevich has notched two goals in the past four games, boosting his tally for the season to 10 goals and 19 points. He also excels in the physical side of the game, having recorded 84 hits in 52 appearances.
Florida Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk (groin) will remain sidelined during Thursday's contest when the Panthers host the Oilers in a Stanley Cup rematch. Tkachuk has missed their previous two contests. Head coach Paul Maurice noted that the star winger is out "near-term." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday evening when they host the Calgary Flames. Tkachuk sustained this injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off. Before the international break, Tkachuk was riding a six-game point streak. During this stretch, he tallied 13 points (seven goals) with 30 shots on goal and four power-play points. Through 52 total games, Tkachuk has found the back of the net 22 times. Fantasy managers should expect Carter Verhaeghe to continue to operate as the top left wing with Mackie Samoskevich slotting in on the second line.
Florida Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk (groin) will not play on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators. The 27-year-old sustained this injury during the 4 Nations-Face Off and has yet to see NHL return after the international break. Tkachuk saw doctors earlier in the week and is waiting for further evaluation. Fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to remain sidelined for the foreseeable future. Given that he continues to seek medical evaluation suggests that he is not on the verge of a return. Before the injury, Tkachuk tallied 22 goals with 35 helpers across 52 contests. While he remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Carter Verhaeghe to see time as the top left wing, with Mackie Samoskevich slotting in on the second unit.
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (lower body) will miss Saturday's matchup against the Seattle Kraken. The star winger sustained a lower-body injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off and will be sidelined for at least one game. Tkachuk's first opportunity to return will be on Tuesday against the Nashville Predators. With Tkachuk out of the lineup, Mackie Samoskevich will start Saturday's contest in the top six, skating alongside Sam Bennett and Evan Rodrigues. Samoskevich has played well at times, amassing 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 48 games during his rookie year. The presence of Bennett and Rodrigues, who have combined for 60 points, elevates Samoskevich's fantasy value.
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (lower body) will not play in Team USA's 4 Nations Face-Off matchup against Sweden on Monday. Tkachuk, who opened the tournament with a big three-point effort against Finland, suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's clash against Canada. It looks like he is dealing with only a minor ailment, as Tkachuk's brother Brady has said that the Panthers forward will be "good to go" for Thursday's championship game. Chris Kreider of the New York Rangers will step into the lineup on Monday. Kreider has had a disappointing campaign with the Rangers but may have more luck offensively in new surroundings. He is set to start the game on the second line with Jack Eichel and Brady Tkachuk and is expected to join the first power-play unit.
Florida Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk (lower body) is still being evaluated with a lower-body injury. Tkachuk sustained this injury during their victory over Team Canada on Saturday evening. The 27-year-old was unable to play during most of the final period. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their game on Monday evening against Team Sweden. Through the first two games of the 4 Nationals Face-Off, Tkachuk has found the back of the net twice and added an assist. Before the international break, Tkachuk was heating up at the NHL level as he was riding a six-game point streak. During this stretch, Tkachuk tallied 13 points (six goals and seven helpers) with a +5 rating. If Tkachuk were to miss Monday's game, New York's Chris Kreider will draw into the starting lineup.

This performance also extended his current point streak to five games. During this stretch, Tkachuk has tallied at least two points in three of the games and three points in two.

Tkachuk would tally the primary assist on Sam Bennett's opening goal in the first period. Later in the third, Tkachuk would tally another helper, this time on the power-play, and would cap off his evening with the empty-netter. He also logged two shots on goal and two penalty minutes in this contest. This was his second three-point night over his past three contests. Through 14 games this month, Tkachuk has found the back of the net three times and added nine assists. In 47 games, the 27-year-old has tallied 47 points and should be expected to remain a point-per-game player for the remainder of the season. He will look to stay hot on Saturday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Florida Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk tallied two assists during their victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Wednesday evening. Tkachuk tallied his first assist on the power-play on Sam Reinhart's 23rd goal of the campaign. Tkachuk would add his second helper on Eetu Luostarinen's empty-net goal. This was his first multi-point game since December 18. Over this span, Tkachuk has struggled to find consistent offensive production, as he has tallied just five points over his previous nine contests. However, during his first 21 games of the season, the 27-year-old tallied an impressive 28 points. Through 37 games this season, Tkachuck sits with 38 points (14 goals, 24 helpers), 42 penalty minutes, 60 hits, and 108 shots on goal. He remains a must-start player in all formats.

During this span, he has scored four times, added eight helpers, and logged at least four shots on goal in three of them. In his previous 12 contests, he has only been held off the scoresheet in three games and tallied an impressive 20 points during this span. Fantasy managers should continue to view Tkachuk as an elite scoring winger who has the upside to produce in other categories, such as hits, blocks, and shots, due to his play style. The 26-year-old will look to extend his point streak on Tuesday evening against the Seattle Kraken.
Florida Panther winger Matthew Tkachuk had a field day against Philadelphia on Thursday, finishing a 7-5 road victory with five points. He collected four assists, three with the man advantage, and capped off the scoring in the contest with an empty-net goal. Following a four-point effort in the previous game against Pittsburgh, Tkachuk became the first player in Panthers history with nine points over a two-game span. The two massive performances are part of a five-game point streak. Tkachuk, who has registered 28 points (eight goals, 20 assists) in 22 games for the season, has looked back to his best lately and should do further damage on Saturday against a Sharks that has just allowed eight goals to Tampa Bay and has the fifth leakiest defense overall this season.
Matthew Tkachuk Amasses Four Points Versus Penguins
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk was a one-man show against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, logging two goals and two assists in a 5-4 overtime loss. Tkachuk's effort included a three-point third period where Florida roared back from a 4-1 deficit. In just five minutes, Tkachuk recorded two assists and scored a power-play goal.

With 21 games played, Tkachuk has amassed seven goals and 23 points for the season.
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (illness) is expected to be back in action on Tuesday against Minnesota. He has sat out five games with an illness but returned to practice late last week. "I'm gonna assume, based off what I saw in practice, that he plays tomorrow," Panthers head coach Paul Maurice said following Monday's practice session. Tkachuk had assists in each of the first two games of the season before landing on the shelf. His return to the top line will push Evan Rodrigues down to the third line. However, Rodrigues could still make an impact as a member of the second power-play unit on Tuesday, as the Wild have killed off only 75 percent of their penalties.
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (illness) is expected to miss at least one week of action. An illness forced him to miss Saturday's matchup against Buffalo, and Tkachuk also won't play in Monday's matinee versus Boston, needing more time to recover. The team is targeting Oct. 22 as a return date for Tkachuk. With Aleksander Barkov (lower body) also out, Eetu Luostarinen and Anton Lundell have joined the top six. A move up the lineup gives the pair extra fantasy value.
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk finished Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers with two assists. He collected a power-play helper early in the game on a Sam Reinhart goal and was involved in the build-up when Gustav Forsling sent the game into overtime with a 4-4 tally in the third period. This was Tkachuk's seventh multi-point game of the 2024 postseason. Two of them have come in three contests against the Rangers. The two-time All-Star leads his team in the playoffs with 13 assists and 18 points in 14 games.
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk took care of two goals as the team defeated Tampa Bay 5-3 in Game 3 on Thursday. The Panthers star started and finished the scoring, with the latter goal coming in an empty-net situation. He's now the first player in franchise history with three multi-goal games in the playoffs. Tkachuk, who was huge for the team throughout the 2023 postseason, has been in hot form again, racking up five points (three goals, two assists) in the first three games. There are only six other players with multiple goals and assists through the first few playoff games.
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (illness) will be back in the lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators after missing the team's last contest due to an illness. The 26-year-old will look to pull himself and his team out of a slump, as Tkachuk has posted just two assists in his past five games, and the Panthers have lost eight of their last 10. Expect Tkachuk to return to his line with Nick Cousins and Sam Bennett, a group that should cause a ton of chaos come playoff time. He will also be on the first powerplay unit and should immediately be tossed back into fantasy lineups.
