ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The St. Louis Blues paid tribute to Keith Tkachuk before Saturday night’s game in St. Louis, then watched his son Brady score and set up another goal as the Florida Panthers won 4-1 and snapped a two-game Blues winning streak.

The pregame ceremony marked the elder Tkachuk’s entry into the Hockey Hall of Fame, which became official this week. He spent nine seasons with the Blues before retiring in 2010, playing 543 regular-season and 41 playoff games, and his 208 regular-season goals rank sixth in team history.

Both of his sons, Panthers forwards Matthew and Brady, joined him for the ceremonial puck drop along with Blues captain Robert Thomas, who lived with the Tkachuk family as a rookie in 2018-19.

Brady Tkachuk struck first on a power play at 5:12 of the opening period for his 11th goal, with Matthew earning an assist. Dmitry Kulikov added a second goal 77 seconds later, his first since March 2025, and Anton Lundell pushed the lead to 3-0 early in the second period. Sam Reinhart made it 4-0 with an unassisted goal in the third.

Dylan Holloway spoiled the shutout bid with 2:06 left, poking in a rebound. Joel Hofer stopped 24 shots for St. Louis, while Jacob Markstrom finished with 23 saves for Florida.

The Blues also lost defenseman Philip Broberg to a lower-body injury in the third period, and Aleksanteri Kaskimaki appeared to have hurt his arm. St. Louis has now come up short in four tries this season to win a third consecutive game. Florida, meanwhile, has won three in a row and seven of its last 10.
