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.
