EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk is set to return to action after missing just one game due to his undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old winger was rolling offensively before getting hurt, racking up four goals and 10 helpers, including six power-play points, in his last seven outings. In addition to resuming his top-six role, Tkachuk figures to link back up with the No. 1 power-play unit.
