Matthew Tkachuk Will Not Play On Tuesday
19 seconds agoFlorida Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk (groin) will not play on Tuesday night against the Nashville Predators. The 27-year-old sustained this injury during the 4 Nations-Face Off and has yet to see NHL return after the international break. Tkachuk saw doctors earlier in the week and is waiting for further evaluation. Fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to remain sidelined for the foreseeable future. Given that he continues to seek medical evaluation suggests that he is not on the verge of a return. Before the injury, Tkachuk tallied 22 goals with 35 helpers across 52 contests. While he remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Carter Verhaeghe to see time as the top left wing, with Mackie Samoskevich slotting in on the second unit.
