Matthew Tkachuk Has Goal and 3 Assists, Panthers Strike Fast and Top Senators 6-3

Matthew Tkachuk had a goal and three assists as Florida scored five times in the first period and chased Linus Ullmark.

  • On Tuesday, the Florida Panthers defeated the Ottawa Senators 6-3 in Sunrise, Fla., with Noah Gregor scoring eight seconds into the game, marking the fastest opening goal in Panthers franchise history.
  • Matthew Tkachuk recorded his first four-point game since December 2024, while Carter Verhaeghe added two goals and an assist as Florida's early five-goal barrage forced Ottawa goaltender Linus Ullmark from the game.
  • Linesman Brad Kovachik worked his final regular-season game Tuesday, ending a three-decade career that included five Stanley Cup Finals and the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Players from both teams lined up to honor him.
  • The loss leaves Ottawa at 0-2-1 in its last three games as the team chases an Eastern Conference wild-card berth. Drake Batherson, Jordan Spence, and Michael Amadio scored for the Senators.
