Tkachuk contributed a goal in a 4-1 win over Arizona on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk ended a nine-game goal-scoring slump, though he did register an impressive seven assists during that drought. Still, the 26-year-old's six goals and 28 points in 37 contests this season pales in comparison to his previous two campaigns in which he scored at least 40 goals and 100 points each year. Tkachuk's shooting percentage stands at just 4.7 this campaign, and it wouldn't be surprising to see that rise in the second half of 2023-24.

Tkachuk recorded two power-play assists with five shots on net, 12 PIM, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
The penalty minutes all came at the end of the game, as Tkachuk and Alex Pietrangelo got into a scrap that escalated quickly, resulting in three other players also receiving misconducts. Tkachuk's offensive contribution was long overdue -- the 26-year-old winger hadn't had a multi-point performance since Nov. 14, with only two goals and five points in 17 games during his six-week slump. He could heat up in a hurry after the Christmas break, but Tkachuk has a lot of work to do if he's going to reach 100 points for the third straight season.

Tkachuk notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk set up Carter Verhaeghe's goal early in the third period, which was the last tally of the game. Their line with Sam Bennett accounted for three goals and seven points, though Tkachuk again was not as involved as his linemates. Over the last 10 games, Tkachuk has earned just four points, and that's an improvement on the five-game drought that preceded. Overall, the winger has five goals, 16 assists, 109 shots on net, 31 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 30 contests. He's shooting a mere 4.6 percent, so positive regression should eventually get his season-long numbers back on track -- he's never shot worse than 9.2 percent in a full season.

Tkachuk notched two power-play assists and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk has multiple points in three straight games, and he's picked up two goals and eight assists during a seven-game point streak. His last four helpers have all been on the power play. The 25-year-old winger is up to 17 points (five on the power play), 63 shots on net, 14 hits, nine PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 15 contests.

Tkachuk recorded two power-play assists in Sunday's 4-3 win over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
He helped set up Sam Reinhart for a tally midway through the first period before Carter Verhaeghe tapped home the rebound on a Tkachuk shot early in the third for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Tkachuk has found the scoresheet in six straight games, racking up two goals and eight points over the hot streak, and on the season the 25-year-old has produced three goals and 15 points in 14 contests.

Tkachuk produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
He got the Panthers on the board early in the first period, knifing through the slot with speed and taking a pass from Carter Verhaeghe that he deposited past a sprawling Antti Raanta. Tkachuk extended his point streak to five games in the process, and the 25-year-old has three goals and 13 points in 13 contests this season. He is off to a solid start, but he will need to pick up the pace to deliver his third straight season with 100-plus points.

Tkachuk produced an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk set up an Oliver Ekman-Larsson tally in the first period. The helper extended Tkachuk's point streak to four games (one goal, three assists) as he continues to produce solid offense in a second-line role. The 25-year-old winger is up to two goals, nine assists, 55 shots on net, 12 hits and a minus-1 rating through 12 outings this season.

Tkachuk scored a goal on eight shots in a 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk hammered home a rebound past Petr Mrazek to cut the Blackhawks' lead to 4-2, but that's as close as Florida would get in the 5-2 loss. The goal was only Tkachuk's second of the season, but he has points in four of his last five games. He will continue to be a major part of the Panthers' offense while playing on the second line and top power-play unit.

Tkachuk scored his first goal of the season in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old had never gone more than four games into an NHL season without lighting the lamp before, but Tkachuk was held without a goal for the first six contests of the 2023-24 campaign before finally finding one Saturday, when he got his stick on a Dmitry Kulikov point shot in the second period and deflected it past Joey Daccord. Tkachuk's still been productive, producing seven points in seven games, and after erupting for a career-high 109 points in 79 games last season, he could be ready to shift into a higher gear.

Tkachuk posted two assists and seven shots, fueling the Panthers to a 3-1 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk would pick up helpers on Carter Verhaeghe's opening goal and Kevin Stenlund's empty-net goal. He would also record seven shots and a plus-2 rating. Coming off back-to-back 100-point seasons, Tkachuk has yet to score this season but has maintained a point-per-game pace with six assists in six games. He will continue to play a large role in the Panthers' top-six forward core and top power-play unit.
