Matthew Tkachuk reunited with his buddy Lord Stanley in St. Louis on Wednesday.

To begin his day with the trophy in Missouri, the forward of the Florida Panthers treated the Stanley Cup to a lunch outing at a nearby Italian restaurant called Grassi’s Ristorante.

Tkachuk was seen enjoying a sub and a salad in a video shared on Grassi’s Ristorante’s Instagram. Accompanying him at the table was Stanley. Following this, the Panthers forward graciously took pictures with both the Cup and the restaurant staff positioned behind the counter.

After lunch, Tkachuk took the trophy to go hang in his family’s backyard. The veteran forward and his father, former St. Louis Blues great Keith Tkachuk, helped his sister, Taryn, to a drink out of the Cup. She posted a video of the refreshment on her Instagram story.

Afterwards, Tkachuk made a visit to his former elementary school, Villa Duchesne. Accompanied by his family, they all gathered in front of the “Tkachuk Terrace” to capture a memorable picture with Stanley.

On Thursday, the forward started his day off waking up next to the Cup. He posted a picture of them snuggling on his Instagram story.

After hanging out with a fellow champion in Lake Tahoe last weekend, Tkachuk receives a visit from Lord Stanley. The Panthers star took to his Instagram story to share a picture with Travis Kelce, a three-time Super Bowl champion, and captioned it “Champs.”

Both members of the duo took part in the American Century Championship golf tournament.
