Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice speaks after his team practiced on Friday, Feb 21, 2025.
The Panthers have been off since beating the Ottawa Senators 5-1 on Feb. 8.
In that game, Team USA standout Matthew Tkachuk had a goal and two assists in the second period — extending his six-game goal streak.
Tkachuk was injured at the 4 Nations and is day-to-day.
Brady Tkachuk of the Senators opened the scoring in the first.
The Panthers have won five of six going into Saturday’s game with the Seattle Kraken.

Sergei Bobrovsky made 26 saves.
Florida is off until playing host to the Seattle Kraken on Feb. 22. Eight players, most in the NHL, are going to the 4 Nations tournament.

Tkachuck got hurt in the fight he picked with the smaller Canadian
The two Turtlechoke brothers are classless born losers.
100% respect to Maurice, but Tkachuk should have checked his arrogance and ego before starting a fight against Canada. Play the game and stop being a hero.
