Brady Tkachuk Ready to Roll for Season Opener After Practice Return

Brady Tkachuk is slated to play in the Florida Panthers' season opener against the Hurricanes, making his debut after a major offseason trade. After missing a few practices due to a minor issue, coach Paul Maurice confirmed Tkachuk is ready to roll. Last year with Ottawa, the winger recorded 22 goals and 37 assists in 60 games. He projects to skate alongside Sasha Barkov and Sam Reinhart on the top line as he targets a 70-point campaign.
