Tkachuk is not at practice and may be missing with an illness, George Richards of Panthers Press Box reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers may have a bug running through the team as Carter Verhaeghe missed Tuesday's tilt against Columbus with an illness. Tkachuk is having a great season with 14 goals, 25 assists and 107 shots on goal in only 28 games. He is questionable for Thursday's tilt against Pittsburgh.
