Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Gets PPG, but quiet start continues
Matthew Tkachuk scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Dallas as part of the NHL Global Series in Finland.He was parked in front of the net and showed off his great hands with a slick tip that beat Stars netminder Casey DeSmith. Tkachuk has eight points, including three goals, in eight games this season. He hasn't been tearing it up offensively, but he also started slowly last campaign. Tkachuk earned 24 points in his first 34 games of 2023-24 before finishing the regular season with 64 points in 46 outings. And, like last season, he's coming off a long playoff run. He'll be fine. Fantasy managers would be thankful for a hot second half, especially in head-to-head formats, but Tkachuk still has time to ramp it up offensively.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Facing one-week absence
Matthew 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 Florida 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.
