Tkachuk scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins. He also notched 12 PIM, five shots on goal and one hit.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk received two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct and a 10-minute misconduct in the early stages of the second period. However, he settled down afterward and netted with a power-play tally in the final frame. His 14th goal of 2024-25 snapped a four-game point drought and six-game goalless slump. Despite the recent inconsistencies, Tkachuk remains a solid offensive weapon for the Panthers. He's up to 36 points across 35 games despite tallying just six points (four goals, two helpers) over his last 12 contests.
