Matthew Tkachuk Being Evaluated
2 days agoFlorida Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk (lower body) is still being evaluated with a lower-body injury. Tkachuk sustained this injury during their victory over Team Canada on Saturday evening. The 27-year-old was unable to play during most of the final period. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their game on Monday evening against Team Sweden. Through the first two games of the 4 Nationals Face-Off, Tkachuk has found the back of the net twice and added an assist. Before the international break, Tkachuk was heating up at the NHL level as he was riding a six-game point streak. During this stretch, Tkachuk tallied 13 points (six goals and seven helpers) with a +5 rating. If Tkachuk were to miss Monday's game, New York's Chris Kreider will draw into the starting lineup.
