Tkachuk (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.
Tkachuk will make his Panthers debut in the season opener after being acquired by the club in a blockbuster trade this summer. With the Senators last season, the 27-year-old winger notched 22 goals and 37 assists in 60 regular-season games. If he can stay healthy, Tkachuk should be capable of challenging for the 70-point threshold after missing that mark in each of the previous two campaigns.

Panthers' Brady Tkachuk: Given day-to-day tag
Rotowire
Tkachuk (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Wednesday.
Tkachuk wasn't going to be able to play in either of the Panthers' final two preseason games regardless, so fantasy players will turn their attention to Opening Night against Carolina on Tuesday. If Tkachuk is unable to play in that contest, it could open up a top-six role for Eetu Luostarinen.

Panthers' Brady Tkachuk: Exits game for precautionary reasons
Rotowire
Tkachuk (undisclosed) left Tuesday's preseason game versus the Hurricanes for precautionary reasons, Rob Darragh of the Panthers' official site reports.
Head coach Paul Maurice said Tkachuk may be on the ice Wednesday, further suggesting the injury isn't a major concern. Tkachuk has already played in two preseason games, so he won't be eligible to suit up again until the regular-season opener next Tuesday against the Hurricanes.

Panthers' Brady Tkachuk: Three points in Sunday's exhibition matchup
Rotowire
Tkachuk generated two goals, including one on the power play, an assist, and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-3 preseason win over Carolina.
It was an eventful night for Tkachuk in his first action with his new club, as he had a Gordie Howe hat trick in a game between two teams that have combined to win the last three Stanley Cups. The 27-year-old Tkachuk fired a game-high seven shots on net during Sunday's win, so if his performance early in preseason is a sign of things to come, the power winger is going to be an excellent fantasy asset in a potent top six in 2026-27.

Panthers' Brady Tkachuk: Joining forces with brother
Rotowire
Tkachuk was acquired by the Panthers from the Senators on Sunday in exchange for three first-round picks and a second-round selection.
After rumors during the 2025-26 season of Tkachuk potentially wanting out of Ottawa, Florida general manager Bill Zito wasted little time in linking the power forward up with Brady's brother, Matthew Tkachuk. The blockbuster deal includes the No. 9 and No. 25 selections in this year's NHL Draft, a 2029 conditional first-round pick and a second-round selection in 2027 being sent to Ottawa. The 26-year-old Tkachuk is set to skate in a potent top six that will get back Aleksander Barkov, who missed the entirety of the 2025-26 campaign due to ACL and MCL injuries. It's also highly plausible that Tkachuk will work on the top power-play unit with his new team, which would give even more of a boost to the left-shot winger's fantasy value. Tkachuk has two seasons remaining on the seven-year, $57.5 million contract he signed with the Senators in October of 2021.
Tkachuk (rest) won't participate in Ottawa's regular-season finale against Toronto on Wednesday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.
Tkachuk has already declared himself good to go for the playoffs, but he'll skip his second straight game Wednesday. The 26-year-old will complete the regular season with 22 goals, 59 points, 71 PIM and 162 hits in 60 appearances in 2025-26.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Ready to go for playoffs
Rotowire
Tkachuk (rest) said Tuesday that he's good to go for the postseason, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Tkachuk sat out Sunday's game in New Jersey after managing just 10:25 of ice time in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Islanders. The 26-year-old winger skated on the second line alongside Dylan Cozens and Ridly Greig during Tuesday's practice, and Tkachuk also worked with the No. 1 power-play unit. The Senators' first-round matchup has yet to be determined, but they will play either the Sabres or Hurricanes to kick off the postseason.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Tkachuk (rest) won't play against New Jersey on Sunday, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.
Tkachuk left Saturday's 3-0 win over the Islanders due to an injury, but he is feeling better and appears to be resting after the Senators clinched a playoff berth. Still, it's unclear if he will play in Wednesday's regular-season finale against Toronto. Tkachuk has amassed 22 goals, 59 points, 221 shots on net and 162 hits across 60 appearances this campaign.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Another four-point effort
Rotowire
Tkachuk delivered four assists Tuesday in a 6-2 win over the Lightning.
Tkachuk became the fourth Sens player in the past 10 years with multiple four-point games in a single season. He has two this year. The others? Tim Stutzle (twice; most: three games in 2022-23), Batherson (three games in 2021-22) and Erik Karlsson (two games in 2015-16).

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Scores twice vs. Carolina
Rotowire
Tkachuk scored two goals on five shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Hurricanes.
Tkachuk found the back of the net in the second and third periods, and this two-goal performance allowed the star winger to snap a five-game drought, in which he was limited to three assists. The 26-year-old missed considerable time between October and November due to a right thumb injury that required surgery and sidelined him for 20 games, but he's been very productive when available. Across 57 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, Tkachuk has posted 54 points (22 goals, 32 assists) and 216 shots on goal.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Pots winner against Isles
Rotowire
Tkachuk scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Islanders.
With just 13 seconds left in regulation, Tkachuk pounced on a loose puck in the New York crease and jammed it home. It was the third GWG of the season for the 26-year-old winger in his 48th game, and despite missing most of October and November due to thumb surgery, he sits one goal shy of reaching 20 for the seventh time in eight NHL seasons, with the lone exception being the COVID season of 2020-21.

Rotowire
Tkachuk produced a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-4 win over San Jose.
Both points came in the third period, including an empty-netter that gave Tkachuk his 18th goal of the season. It was the 26-year-old winger's first multi-point performance since Jan. 31 versus the Devils, but he's failed to get onto the scoresheet only three times in 12 games since then. Through 46 contests on the season, Tkachuk has compiled 46 points, 176 shots on net, 118 hits, 48 PIM and a minus-1 rating.

Tkachuk is on a six-game point streak dating back to Feb. 5. He's earned two goals and four assists during the streak, though he is now eight games removed from his last multi-point outing.

While an early injury has forced him to take some caution in 2025-26, Tkachuk remains an elite multi-category producer in fantasy.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Gets goal and misconduct
Rotowire
Tkachuk scored a power-play goal Thursday in a 2-1 overtime loss to Detroit. He also had 10 PIM.
The misconduct came after he jawed at Simon Edvinsson in the penalty box. Edvinsson had flattened Tkachuk with a big hit that bloodied the forward's nose. Dylan Cozens fought Edvinsson to defend his teammate, and Tkachuk went to the glass and started chirping the defender. The goal was Tkachuk's 15th of the season; he has 38 points, 44 PIM and 147 shots in 38 games.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Grabs trio of points Saturday
Rotowire
Tkachuk scored a power-play goal, distributed two assists, fired three shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over New Jersey.
After lighting the lamp for the game's opening goal in the first period, Tkachuk helped break the contest open in the third with a pair of helpers, including one on a power play. With his three-point night, the 26-year-old winger is up to 14 goals, 22 assists, 132 shots on net and 94 hits across 34 games this season. Saturday's performance helped him climb back above a point per game in limited action this season. Since Jan. 14, he has six goals, 15 points and 30 shots on net across nine games. While reaching his career high in points is likely out of the question, Tkachuk has a strong chance to record his fifth consecutive season with 55-plus points, 250-plus shots on net and 200-plus hits. He is one of the true elite category-coverage forwards in fantasy.
