MIAMI — Florida Panthers All-Star winger Matthew Tkachuk and his younger brother Brady, a top-line forward and captain for the Ottawa Senators, met for the 14th time in their careers Saturday.
Florida defeated Ottawa 5-3, with Matthew involved in three of Florida’s five goals to vault his record against his brother in the NHL to 8-6 and help the Panthers snap a two-game losing streak just in time for their upcoming four-game West Coast road trip.
Florida improves to 5-3-1 on the season. Ottawa falls to 4-4-0.
