Tkachuk notched two goals, including one in the power play, and added an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders. Tkachuk has endured a slow start to the campaign, racking up just three points in his first four appearances while missing five consecutive contests between Oct. 12 and Oct. 19 due to an illness. However, the star right winger wasn't expected to struggle for an extended stretch, and he delivered his best game of the season Saturday, carrying the Panthers to a huge road win. Tkachuk has cracked the scoresheet in four of his five outings and will try to start a new point streak when taking on the Sabres on Monday.

Head coach Paul Maurice said Monday that he assumes Tkachuk (illness) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Wild, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. Tkachuk has missed the last five games due to an illness, but the team has remained hopeful that he'd be back in action against Minnesota. He's slated to meet his return timetable, which will provide a significant boost to the Panthers. Over his first two appearances of the season, Tkachuk recorded two assists, seven shots on goal and a plus-2 rating.

Per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site, coach Paul Maurice said Saturday that Tkachuk (illness) is on track to play Tuesday against the Wild. Tkachuk will miss his fifth straight game versus Vegas on Saturday. The feisty winger has two assists and seven shots on goal in two appearances this season. Once he's healthy, Tkachuk will return to a top-six role alongside Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett.

Tkachuk (illness) is expected to be sidelined for at least a week with a potential return date of Oct. 22 versus Minnesota, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. Tkachuk's absence is a huge blow for the Panthers, with the 26-year-old winger already having missed one game due to illness. Prior to falling ill, the Arizona native managed two assists in the opening two contests but had failed to find the back of the net despite seven shots on goal. Eetu Luostarinen will likely continue to see top-line minutes without Tkachuk in the lineup -- though Carter Verhaeghe could also be in contention to move up the depth chart. Given the length of Tkachuk's expected absence, don't be surprised to see him land on injured reserve in the next few days.

Tkachuk (illness) won't play Saturday against the Sabres, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports. It's a tough blow for a Panthers team that'll also be without Aleksander Barkov (lower body). Tkachuk had two assists in Florida's first two games this season. He'll look to return Monday in a road matchup with the Bruins.
