FORT LAUDERDALE – Panthers fans are holding their breath.
Star player Matthew Tkachuk was hurt during the Four Nations Faceoff.
Tkachuk sustained what’s being called a lower body injury.
On Monday, head coach Paul Maurice was asked about a report that Tkachuk could be out for the rest of the season.
Maurice said, “We got a pretty good idea where it’s at. Just need to make sure that everyone looks at the pictures the same way. I don’t have that concern. He’ll play.”
Maurice added, “The reason we’re vague on all of these before we get the report is because there’s always a chance of everything... we’re not worried about it.”
