Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice voiced a strong statement on Matthew Tkachuk's injury ahead of the Cats' pivotal final stretch of the NHL regular season.
Tkachuk is believed to be dealing with a groin injury from Team USA's 3-1 win over Team Canada during robin-round play at the 4 Nations Face-Off. He attempted to play in the finals against Canada but was limited to just 6:47 minutes of ice time before he sat the rest of the game.
