If you thought the injury to Matthew Tkachuk meant you'd be seeing less of him lately, you thought wrong. Tkachuk won't be on the ice with his Florida Panthers teammates when they take the ice in Nashville on Tuesday due to an injury that he suffered during the 4 Nations Face-Off last week.

Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon yesterday evening to discuss USA’s 2nd place finish at the 4 Nations Face-Off and to promote the sport of hockey to Fallon’s audience.

The Panthers are not concerned about the severity of Matthew Tkachuk 's lower-body injury, coach Paul Maurice said Monday. The forward, who has 57 points (22 goals, 35 assists) in 52 games, continues to be evaluated by team medical personnel. Maurice said he expected to have a better idea of Tkachuk's timeline later Monday.

Panthers star forward Matthew Tkachuk will miss Florida’s game against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday because of a lower-body injury.
