SUNRISE, Fla. — Matthew Tkachuk continued his impressive scoring streak by netting a goal for the sixth consecutive game and adding two assists, playing a pivotal role in a dominant four-goal second period that propelled the Florida Panthers to a convincing 5-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.

Joining Tkachuk on the scoresheet were Aleksander Barkov, who contributed a goal and an assist, and Sam Bennett, Gustav Forsling, and Anton Lundell, each finding the net for the Panthers. The team’s defense was solid, with goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky making 26 saves, securing their fifth win in the last six contests.

The Senators managed to get on the board with a goal from Brady Tkachuk, who was supported by 43 saves from Ottawa’s Linus Ullmark. Notably, it marked the third instance this season that the Tkachuk brothers, soon to represent the USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, both scored in the same game.

**Key Takeaways**

Senators: Ottawa is currently on a three-game losing streak, and alarmingly, they have allowed at least four goals in each of those losses. This marks only the second occasion this season the Senators have conceded four or more goals in three consecutive games, the previous stretch occurring in mid-November.

Panthers: Florida has recorded a four-goal period for the fourth time this season. The previous instances occurred on October 8 against Boston (first), November 30 against Carolina (third), and January 25 at San Jose (second).

**Key Moment**

Sam Reinhart provided the assist on Matthew Tkachuk’s power play goal, marking Tkachuk’s go-ahead score and also representing Reinhart’s 600th career NHL point. He now joins Barkov and Tkachuk as the only active Panthers players to achieve this milestone.

**Key Stat**

Matthew Tkachuk has recorded three points in a game against his brother five times, showcasing his offensive prowess. In total, there have been 11 multi-point games in matchups between the Tkachuk siblings, with Matthew accounting for nine of those performances.

**Up Next**

With the 4 Nations break on the horizon, both teams will have some time off until February 22. On that night, the Senators will host the Montreal Canadiens while the Panthers will welcome the Seattle Kraken to their arena.
