Tkachuk then forced his way out of town in the summer of 2022, landing with the Florida Panthers via trade before signing long-term with the franchise. "It's a big rivalry," he said."Any time you play against Edmonton, it was an intense battle, hard slog every game.Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky said Tkachuk — and his intensity — has been a terrific addition to their group.
"Staying out of it a little bit more," Montour said."He's an effective player playing that role, but also a tremendous hockey player. Whatever Matty needs to do or wants to do, he's one of the best at." Tkachuk, who's in the final for the second straight spring after Florida lost to the Vegas Golden Knights some 12 months ago, is loving life in the sun.
