SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Matthew Tkachuk scored a goal and had an assist in his return from injury and the Florida Panthers defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Tkachuk gave Florida a 2-1 lead with a power-play goal with 4:24 to go in the first period and the team never relinquished it to win for the eighth time in nine games and move into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference with the idle Boston Bruins. Both teams have 82 points.<\/p>\n
He missed the team\u2019s previous game against the Washington Capitals with an upper-body injury sustained last Thursday in Carolina.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou never like missing games,\u201d Tkachuk said. \u201cNobody hated it more than me but it was probably the right thing. It really wasn\u2019t fully my call either, but in hindsight, I\u2019m happy that they let me take that one off and it felt really good tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
