Florida Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk Out for Regular Season Due to Groin Injury

The star forward sustained the injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off while playing for Team USA, with hopes of returning for the playoffs.

Matthew Tkachuk, who helped the Florida Panthers secure their first Stanley Cup in 2024, will miss the rest of the regular season with a groin injury.
The injury occurred during the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament last month, where Tkachuk played for Team USA and was sidelined during the final games of the event.
Panthers General Manager Bill Zito confirmed Tkachuk's placement on long-term injured reserve and expressed optimism for his potential return in the playoffs.
Tkachuk has been a key player for the Panthers this season, ranking second on the team with 57 points (22 goals, 35 assists) in 52 games.
The Panthers currently hold second place in the Atlantic Division and face the challenge of maintaining their position without one of their top scorers.
