SUNRISE, Fla. — The status of Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk was uncertain after their Game 4 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night.
Tkachuk played just 16 minutes, 40 seconds in the 3-2 loss, which moved Vegas one win away from capturing its first Stanley Cup.
He was clearly laboring in the game and skated only four shifts during the third period. «Obviously, you want to be out there playing.
Just was able to go out there at the end and tried to make some magic happen late but ran out of time,» Tkachuk said. Florida coach Paul Maurice wouldn't disclose what was affecting Tkachuk and wouldn't confirm his status for Tuesday's potential elimination game back in Vegas. «We got two days off to assess that.
