Matthew Tkachuk Is Skating Again, but No Set Return Date for Florida Panthers Star

Matthew Tkachuk is progressing through rehab after surgery and aims for a December return to the Florida Panthers, potentially joining USA Hockey at the Winter Olympics.

  • Matthew Tkachuk, Florida Panthers forward, skated twice last week, his first on-ice work since Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, but the Panthers remain unsure of his return despite a "December-ish" timetable.
  • After trying rehab early in the summer, he underwent surgery in August following a sports hernia and torn adductor, with Panthers coach Paul Maurice setting recovery benchmarks.
  • He produced 23 playoff points despite missing the final 25 games, helping the Florida Panthers beat the Edmonton Oilers in six games.
  • Panthers coach Paul Maurice warned Tkachuk remains quite a way away, though his return would provide a huge boost to an injury-decimated Florida Panthers lineup missing captain Aleksander Barkov.
  • He checked in with doctors to outline the next rehab phase and appears on pace to join USA Hockey at the Milan–Cortina Olympics.
