Matthew Tkachuk didn't leave Saturday night's game, but spent almost all of the third period on the bench, visibly dealing with an injury.
As the Vegas Golden Knights are only one win away to win the Stanley Cup, the Panthers will need all their best players if they want to win three straight games.
Unfortunately, Tkachuk's status is uncertain for the next game.
