Tkachuk provided two assists -- both on the power play -- in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Carter Verhaeghe scored on a rebound 10:19 into the first period on the power plays off a secondary assist from Tkachuk. Late in the same frame, on the power play once again, Tkachuk took a pass from Aleksander Barkov and fed a cross-ice pass to Sam Reinhart who snapped it over the glove of Alexandar Georgiev from the slot. He also added one hit, three shots on net and an even rating in 16:15 TOI. Tkachuk has been on a heater as of late, scoring five goals, 9 helpers, a plus-6 rating, eight hits and 22 shots on goal. The Panthers face the Penguins on Wednesday.

Tkachuk scored a goal and added two assists in a 4-2 win over the Capitals on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He has just 18 goals and 54 points in 52 games after two straight 100-plus point seasons. But Tkachuk has seriously picked up the pace with 30 points (12 goals; 63 shots) in his last 17 games. He has points in 15 of those games. Tkachuk is shooting at just 8.8 percent this season, which is significantly below his career average of 12.7. It will be hard for Chucky to continue this pace, but never say never.

Tkachuk tallied a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- in Saturday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk set up Sam Reinhart's opening power-play goal in the first period before adding a goal of his own on the man advantage in the third, deflecting an Aleksander Barkov shot to put Florida ahead 2-1. Tkachuk has points in five straight contests, totaling four goals and five assists in that span. He'll head into the All-Star break with 51 points (16 goals, 35 assists) through 49 games after topping the 100-point threshold in each of his last two seasons.

Tkachuk scored two even-strength goals and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
He also chipped in three shots on net, two hits and a plus-3 rating. Tkachuk has caught fire in January, erupting for 10 goals and 21 points in 11 games, putting a sluggish start to the campaign behind him. On the season, the 26-year-old winger is back on a point-a-game pace with 48 points (15 goals, 33 helpers) in 47 contests.

Tkachuk tallied three goals and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
After assisting on Sam Reinhart's power-play marker in the second period, Tkachuk scored all three of his goals in the final frame, including an empty-netter to seal Florida's 5-1 victory. It's Tkachuk's second straight four-point effort as he extended his point streak to six games, tallying six goals and nine assists in that span. After scoring just five goals through his first 36 contests this season, the 26-year-old Tkachuk's incredible run has put him at 11 goals and 39 points through 40 outings.

Tkachuk scored a goal and added three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Three of his points came in the third period as the Panthers blew open a 4-4 tie. Tkachuk has caught fire, putting together a five-game point streak and piling up three goals and 11 points over that stretch as he shakes off a month-long slump. The 26-year-old still has a lot of work to do if he's going to reach 100 points for the third straight season, as he's got 35 points (eight goals, 27 helpers) through 39 contests, but given Tkachuk's talent and the loaded roster around him, it's not out of the question.

Tkachuk scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Both of his points came on the power play, with his goal being his first power-play marker of the campaign. The winger has gotten back to his usual level with 10 points over his last nine contests. For the season, he's still well off the mark with seven tallies, 30 points (12 on the power play), 132 shots on net, 42 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 38 outings. Tkachuk is shooting a mere 5.3 percent -- after back-to-back 40-goal, 100-point campaigns, positive regression should be in his future.

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.
