Matthew Tkachuk Sits Out Tuesday's Game
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk (personal) won't play on Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. He has left the team to be with his wife for the birth of their first child. Considering Florida has nothing left to play for, it wouldn't be surprising if Tkachuk misses several games. His absence will give Mackie Samoskevich a chance to skate on the first line against Montreal. The 23-year-old has grown his reputation recently, scoring in four consecutive games before he finished pointless in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. He could be a good addition to fantasy squads, especially since Samoskevich will also log time on the first power-play unit.
