Brady Tkachuk Has Natural Hat Trick, Brother Matthew Has 5 Assists as Panthers Roll Blue Jackets 7-3

Matthew Tkachuk matched a franchise record with five assists, including three on his brother's hat trick, as Florida dominated the second period.

  • On Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, the Florida Panthers defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-3 at Nationwide Arena, fueled by Brady Tkachuk's second career natural hat trick in the second period.
  • After taking six straight penalties in the second, the Blue Jackets suffered a defensive collapse; Columbus has now allowed seven power-play goals in 18 opportunities this season, a 61.1% success rate.
  • Matthew Tkachuk matched a club record with five assists, while Carter Verhaeghe added two goals and Seth Jones contributed four assists as Florida capitalized on power plays, scoring four goals in six attempts.
  • Columbus head coach Rick Bowness pulled starting goaltender Cam Talbot after six goals, labeling the loss "self-inflicted" and saying, "you've got to believe that that performance tonight will embarrass them enough to stop this."
  • The Florida Panthers return home for a two-game stand beginning Thursday, where they will host Vancouver and Seattle as they aim to maintain momentum following their offensive breakthrough.
