The Florida Panthers will be without forward Matthew Tkachuk for about a week due to illness, the team announced Monday.
The team is targeting Oct. 22 as the return date for the 26-year-old veteran.
Tkachuk, who did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres, has recorded two assists in two games this season.
The Panthers have games this week against the Bruins, Blue Jackets, Canucks and Golden Knights before hosting the Minnesota Wild on Oct. 22.
The two-time All-Star and 2024 Stanley Cup winner has 581 points (218 goals, 363 assists) in 592 games with the Calgary Flames (2016-22) and Panthers.
