Fluorida panthers Forward Matthew This month’s surgery was done and it is expected to recall the onset of the regular season, a NHL’s source confirmed a report, a report.

The 27-year-old Tkachuk said earlier this month that he was expected to remember “the first two or perhaps three months” of the regular session of 2025-26, if he decided to go through a process, a decision he was still arguing at that time.

He missed the final 25 matches of the NHL regular season, but returned to the first round playoff series game 1 of the panthers. Tampa Bay LightningTkachuk had 23 points (8 goals, 15 aids) in 23 matches during the playoffs, including seven points in the final against Edmonton, to take the panthers to their second straight Stanley Cup Championship.

In June, USA Hockey made Takachuk one of the first six members of the American men’s team to play at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. Tkachuk 4 was the only member of the nation roster, which was not scheduled to attend the Olympic Orientation Camp of American men in Michigan this week.

Tkachuk is entering its fourth with its 10th NHL season and panthers. In the previous season, he had 57 points (22 goals and 35 aids) in 52 matches. His contract hits a salary cap of $ 9.5 million. If Tkachuk is placed on a prolonged reserve, it will give a very important cap relief to Florida. Pukepedia has panthers $ 4.5 million on the cap before next month’s training camp.
