SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk had to be helped off the ice and taken to the locker room following a collision with Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov during Monday night's game.
Kucherov crashed full-speed into Tkachuk's right leg late in the first period, causing Tkachuk to fall and grab at his knee. He remained down for a couple minutes until a team trainer helped him off. He didn't appear to put any weight on the leg.
