Mon Oct 14 17:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Bruins Gain Advantage as Panthers Star Tkachuk Misses Game
**Boston, MA -** The Boston Bruins will face a depleted Florida Panthers squad on Monday, with star forward Matthew Tkachuk ruled out due to illness.
Tkachuk, who contributed a single point in the Panthers’ 6-2 victory over the Bruins last Tuesday, will be sidelined until their game against the Minnesota Wild on October 22nd. The news is a boon for the Bruins, who were often drawn into penalties by Tkachuk’s antics in the previous matchup.
This absence, coupled with Aleksander Barkov already being unavailable, presents a favorable opportunity for the Bruins to extend their winning streak to three games.
NESN will provide comprehensive coverage of the game, beginning at noon ET with puck drop scheduled for 1 p.m.
