NHL Playoffs 2025: Matthew Tkachuk strikes quickly for Panthers in Game 1 victory over the Lightning





Matthew Tkachuk returned to the lineup and was back to his old self quickly for the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.


 Playing for the first time in more than two months after dealing with a lower-body injury, Tkachuk scored two second-period goals in his return game for the Panthers in their Eastern Conference first-round series opener at Tampa Bay. 


Those two scores were both power-play tallies, the first putting Florida up 4-1 — the second goal for the Panthers in a 14-second span — and the next one pushing the lead to 5-1 midway through the second period.
