There were moments of joy and celebrations across Florida after their hockey team, the Florida Panthers, won Game 3 1-0 against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday to take a 3-0 series lead.
Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka, a Florida native, put on a brilliant performance to win his third PGA Championship and fifth major of his career, last week. Koepka was present at the FLA Live Arena on Monday to show his support for the Panthers by putting on their jersey. Brady, Matthew's brother, who has yet to play a single playoff game , was also in the arena.

Brady Tkachuk was the fourth overall pick of the Ottawa Senators in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. He was the second leading goal scorer for the Senators in the 2022-23 season.
The Ottawa Senators finished sixth in the Eastern Conference and failed to qualify for the postseason for a sixth straight year. They last made the playoffs in 2017. The wait for the "Sens" captain Brady to debut in the playoffs continues.

One of the main reasons the Florida Panthers made the 2023 playoffs was the key contribution from Matthew Tkachuk during the regular season. He led the team in scoring with 109 points, through 40 goals and 69 assists in 79 games.
He has continued with his stellar performances in the playoffs. In the ongoing series against the Carolina Hurricanes, Tkachuk scored two crucial goals in overtime in the first two games, helping the Panthers take a 2-0 advantage.
In Game 3, he provided an assist in the Panthers' 1-0 win to put them one game away from booking a spot in the Stanley Cup final. Tkachuk has played 15 games in the playoffs and has racked up 19 points (seven goals and 12 assists).
Matthew Tkachuk will hope to continue his stellar performance in Game 4 on Wednesday.
