Matthew Tkachuk Leads Panthers Offense, Expected for Active Night vs. Sabres

Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk is leading the team in points and expected goals, while ranking second in shots through his first seven games this season. Averaging 2.9 shots on target, he shows improved numbers at home and after rest days. Tkachuk is expected to have an active offensive performance against the high-event Buffalo Sabres, who give up many shots to wingers. He has scored in one of his seven games and is a key offensive driver for the Panthers.
