Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Two helpers in Olympic opener
Rotowire
Tkachuk distributed two assists and fired four shots on net in the United States' 5-1 win over Latvia in Olympic round-robin play Thursday.
Tkachuk secured his two-point performance inside the first two periods of the contest. He picked up his first helper with the primary pass to his brother, Brady Tkachuk, for the opening tally before later helping Brock Nelson score the United States' fourth goal. Between a limited sample size with the Panthers this season and the Olympic opener, Tkachuk has showcased a steady involvement in both offenses. The assistant captain earned a spot on the United States' top line and power-play unit, which gives him the chance to post big offensive numbers in the Olympic tournament.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Two-point effort Wednesday
Rotowire
Tkachuk produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Bruins.
Both points came early in the second period, as Tkachuk helped set up Uvis Balinskis for a tally before potting his own just over two minutes later. Tkachuk has three multi-point performances in the last seven games but was held off the scoresheet entirely in the other four. While he's still looking for some consistency after his belated start to the season, the 28-year-old winger has three goals and eight points in his first nine games of 2025-26, with most of that offense (two goals, four assists) coming with the man advantage.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Earns first point
Rotowire
Tkachuk notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 shootout win over the Jets.
This was Tkachuk's second game of the season after he returned from a long-term groin injury that required surgery. The winger set up Sam Bennett's goal late in the second period. Tkachuk has added four shots on net, two hits, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating while taking on a second-line job for now. He may need some time to round into form after the lengthy absence, but he's a multi-category stud at his best and should be given plenty of leeway by fantasy managers looking for a midseason boost.
