Florida Panthers coach Paul Maurice speaks before his team plays host to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, Feb 22, 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 will not play tonight.
The Panthers have won five of six.
