Brady Tkachuk Leaves Preseason Action for Precautionary Reasons

Florida Panthers forward Brady Tkachuk exited Tuesday's preseason game against the Carolina Hurricanes for precautionary reasons due to an undisclosed issue. Head coach Paul Maurice indicated Tkachuk could return to the ice on Wednesday, suggesting the injury is not serious. Having already appeared in two exhibition games, Tkachuk is not eligible to play again until Florida's regular-season opener next Tuesday against Carolina.
