Florida Panthers star forward Matthew Tkachuk is not known for his quiet presence on the ice. A master instigator and skilled skater, the Olympic gold medalist relishes in provoking opposing skaters into unforced errors and drawing penalties.
After a disappointing set of games last week and rather pointed comments from HC Paul Maurice, the Cats got back in the win column against the Blackhawks.
On what felt like a must win game in October,, the Florida Panthers broke their losing streak and took their second to last road trip game with a win against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Lars Eller tallied the go-ahead goal with 2:23 remaining in the third period and Sandis Vilmanis and Matthew Tkachuk also scored to lift the visiting Florida Panthers to a 3-2 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.
How many of the 22 players in NHL history with at least 600 career goals can you name in five minutes?
Entering their game Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Florida Panthers were reeling from back-to-back losses where they were out scored 9-1 against the Ottawa Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.

After riding high last week, the Cats struggled to find their footing on their back-to-back. An emotion-filled game against the Senators followed by a lackluster effort against the Penguins has left the Panthers in a rough state for the time being.
Florida Panthers general manager Bill Zito struck a deal on July 24, 2021, with Buffalo Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams to send a first-round pick and goalie prospect Devon Levi to Buffalo in exchange for winger Sam Reinhart.
It is difficult to recall such a pair of lackluster efforts by the Florida Panthers in the Paul Maurice era than the back-to-back duds at Ottawa and Pittsburgh.
The Florida Panthers, who were beaten by a 5-1 final score at Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday evening as part of Brady Tkachuk’s return to Ottawa, were in Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins just over 24 hours later.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
A significant milestone has been reached…both literally and figuratively. On Thursday night, Florida Panthers goaltender Cooper Black made his NHL debut against the Pittsburgh Penguins, making him the tallest goaltender in league history.
It seems like the only thing coming out of a wild night in the nation’s capital is a few player reaching into their wallets. On Thursday, the NHL Department
Tkachuk returned to Ottawa on Wednesday night for the first time since the Senators traded him to the Panthers in June.
Black's NHL debut will be a record-setting one regardless of his performance.
Sometimes a hockey game becomes about much more than the two points at the end. Wednesday night in Ottawa was one of those nights. Brady Tkachuk returned to the city where he spent eight seasons, including five as captain, wearing a Florida Panthers jersey.
After giving the Ottawa Senators the proverbial middle finger in May, Brady Tkachuk essentially forced his way to the Florida Panthers in June, joining a team looking to return to glory after winning back-to-back Stanley Cups and one that also employs his brother, Matthew.

With no extra healthy players on their roster heading into tonight’s game against Seattle, the Panthers have elected to give themselves a bit more depth. The team announced that they’ve recalled winger Cole Reinhardt from AHL Charlotte.
