Two helpers in season finale Tkachuk picked up two assists in Wednesday's 8-1 win over Detroit.

Impact The 28-year-old winger returned from a four-game absence due to the birth of his child and was essentially the only big name left in the Florida lineup for the regular-season finale, and Tkachuk chipped in with helpers on goals by Luke Kunin in the second period and Cole Reinhardt in the third. Tkachuk wraps up an injury-plagued campaign with 13 goals and 34 points in just 31 contests, but if he can stay on the ice in 2026-27 he should be one of the key members of the Panthers' offense.

Good to play Wednesday Tkachuk (personal) is set to play in Florida's season finale against Detroit on Wednesday, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Impact Tkachuk missed Florida's past four games. He has 13 goals and 32 points in 30 appearances in 2025-26. Tkachuk will likely serve on the top line and first power-play unit in his return, which might lead to a reduced role for Jesper Boqvist.

Unavailable in Montreal Tkachuk (personal) will not be an option for Tuesday's game in Montreal, Panthers TV Rinkside Reporter Katie Engleson reports.

Impact Tkachuk did not travel with the team to Montreal, as he and his wife are awaiting the birth of their first child. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on the left-shot winger being in the lineup for Thursday's game in Ottawa as well, and it remains to be seen if Tkachuk will join the team during its road trip, which concludes Saturday in Toronto. Mackie Samoskevich could receive an elevated role in Montreal due to Tkachuk's absence.

Compiles four points in win Tkachuk tallied a goal, supplied three assists and fired five shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Impact Tkachuk played a hand in three of Florida's five goals in the first period, including his primary assist on Carter Verhaeghe's power-play goal. Tkachuk would later tally a goal of his own midway through the second period to place Florida up 6-1. Overall, he is up to 13 goals, 18 assists, 83 shots on goal and 25 hits across 27 games this season. In March, the 28-year-old star winger was excellent with eight goals and 21 points over 15 games. During seven of those outings, he posted multi-point performances. He's on pace to finish the season above a point per game and should continue to compile solid category-coverage stats, giving him excellent value for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.
