Matthew Tkachuk is off to a great start in his first season with the Florida Panthers, as he leads the team in points.
And he continued that last night when the Panthers hosted the Arizona Coyotes, but he was also up to his ‘'pest'' ways, as well.
After a controversial hit from Shayne Gostisbehere on Florida captain Aleksander Barkov, Tkachuk raced across the ice and jumped the Coyotes defenseman.
The Panthers ended up taking a 5-3 win, which was in big thanks to Tkachuk's hat trick, as he was all over the scoresheet.
The 25-year-old has improved to 20 goals and 27 games in 36 games with the Panthers.
