Matthew Tkachuk’s moment still might serve as a spark for Florida in Game 6 at Edmonton

Associated Press  

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The save got all the rave reviews when talking about Matthew Tkachuk’s performance for the Florida Panthers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers, and with good reason. His favorite — one he’s shared with the Panthers over and over in recent days — was one where a backchecking Tkachuk found a way to get the puck off Edmonton star Connor McDavid’s stick earlier in the series and probably helped stop a goal. To Maurice, those are the plays to serve as reminders that Tkachuk — the guy who played in last year’s Stanley Cup Final with a broken sternum, an injury that made it hard to breathe and hurt so much that he needed help with things like getting out of bed, putting his pads on and tying his skates — will do whatever it takes to win a title. “It’s another great challenge for us going into Edmonton,” Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov said.
