On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss one major hurdle that could get in the way of Matthew Tkachuk returning to the Panthers roster in time for the 2026 NHL Winter Classic. One important name in college football has now taken his work to the NHL, and recognized the Florida Panthers for their level of success over the last few years of three straight finals and two championships. Lastly, the Panthers visit Raleigh to take on the Hurricanes for the second time in less than a week, with the Panthers physicality having two big stars in Jaccob Slavin and Seth Jarvis out of the lineup, how to the Panthers react on what could be a game where the Canes could settle some scores, and with the Cats being 7-7-0, it's the perfect opportunity to build off from their most recent successful road trip. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
