Matthew Tkachuk and the Florida Panthers Hit With Devastating News
Since his arrival with the Florida Panthers, Matthew Tkachuk has changed the face of the organization and helped the team win two Stanley Cups in two years.
But the organization has now learned some bad news regarding its star forward.
Matthew Tkachuk is an NHL superstar and one of the most difficult players to play against in the league.
His physical and rugged style makes life tough for opposing defensemen, and he also contributes heavily on offense.
It was already known that Tkachuk would miss the start of next season for the Panthers due to an injury he carried through the playoffs.
However, the worst may soon be confirmed for the forward in the coming weeks.
Matthew Tkachuk could be out for several months
According to insider Frank Seravalli, Matthew Tkachuk could miss several months of action next season.
"Matthew Tkachuk: I'd say we're probably not gonna see Matthew Tkachuk for 3 to 5 months"
-Frank Seravalli on Matthew Tkachuk
This could be a huge blow for the Panthers at the start of the season.
Tkachuk has been a warrior for the team since his arrival in Florida, and he's not the kind of player who wants to stay off the ice for long.
If Tkachuk's recovery goes well, he could return in December.
That's right when the playoff race will be heating up, and the Panthers will need Tkachuk in their lineup.
Fans are also hoping he'll be ready for the Olympics, as he was spectacular for Team USA during the Four Nations tournament.
