The Florida Panthers are receiving quite the boost for Monday's game against the San Jose Sharks as they look to establish more consistency and make a playoff charge.

Matthew Tkachuk and the Florida Panthers took a trip to the White House this week to celebrate their second consecutive championship. The Panthers successfully defended their Stanley Cup title last June by taking down the Edmonton Oilers in six games.

The Florida Panthers have had Matthew Tkachuk back at morning skates and on-ice workouts the past few weeks, but Wednesday was the first real practice he participated in where things were able to get a little physical.

Florida Panthers Star Matthew Tkachuk openly praised President Donald Trump as the Florida Panthers visited the White House.
