Brady Tkachuk joined the Florida Panthers following an offseason trade from the Ottawa Senators, reuniting him with his brother, Matthew Tkachuk. In his preseason debut, Brady recorded a goal and an assist while engaging in a fight to defend captain Aleksander Barkov.

During the regular season, Brady achieved a historic milestone in a 7-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets by scoring a natural hat trick. This performance marked the first time in NHL history that a player recorded a natural hat trick with his brother providing the assist for every goal. The three goals occurred during an eight-minute span in the second period, with Matthew Tkachuk finishing the game with five assists.

Following that performance, Brady led the Panthers to a 3-2 overtime victory against the Vancouver Canucks. After trailing 2-0, Brady scored his fourth goal of the season in the third period and secured the win by scoring the deciding goal at 2:23 of the 3-on-3 overtime period.
