Tkachuk chats 4 Nations, hockey family on 'Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'

Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk made an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" on Monday.

Fresh off representing the United States at the 4 Nations Face-off, Tkachuk chatted with Fallon on the late-night institution, talking everything from his hockey family to the playoff-level intensity of the recent tournament where the US lost an overtime heartbreaker to Canada in the final.

Tkachuk spoke about finally playing competitively on the same team with his brother, Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk at 4 Nations. He also laughed it up about his father Keith Tkachuk 's emotional reaction to the Panthers winning the Stanley Cup last season.

Fallon, a regular at Rangers games, also asked Tkachuk about the upcoming Olympics in 2026, where NHL players will participate once again for the first time in over a decade.

"Next time I see you, you'll have gold around your neck," Fallon said.

"I hope so," Tkachuk replied.
