Matthew Tkachuk has been ruled out of the Panthers' game on Saturday against Washington, head coach Paul Maurice confirmed at the morning skate.
Tkachuk sustained an undisclosed injury in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Carolina, leaving the game during the first period after a hit along the boards. The team has listed his status as day-to-day.
The 26-year-old American has 20 goals and 65 points for the Panthers (37-16-4), who are just two points back of the Bruins for top spot in the Eastern Conference and have a game in hand.
