A major piece of news has just been announced, involving Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk.

Let’s put it this way.. Tkachuk is seriously banged up.

Given how crucial he is to the Americans’ chances of beating Canada, this is already major news.

Matthew Tkachuk Is Seriously Ailing

Putting the Olympics aside, this is still huge news for the Florida Panthers and for many fantasy hockey managers.

Tkachuk is expected to miss several months of action to start the upcoming season.

Nick Kypreos: “There’s a possibility that Matthew Tkachuk’s injury may need corrective surgery which could keep him out through the Christmas break”

Some even believe it could end up being longer than that.

So, expect Tkachuk to begin next season on the Florida Panthers’ long-term injured reserve list.

Matthew Tkachuk, 27 years old, is a 6-foot-2, 202-pound forward who recorded 57 points in 52 games this season with the Florida Panthers, plus 23 points in 23 playoff games in 2025.

He also added 3 points in 3 games for Team USA at the Four Nations Face-Off, but it’s safe to say that intense “playoff-style” hockey seems to have taken its toll on Tkachuk.

Let’s hope he can get back to 100%-and that it happens as soon as possible.
