Tkachuk recorded a power-play assist and three hits in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk drew the secondary helper on Johnny Gaudreau's opening tally at 3:34 of the first period. That goal stood as the game-winner as the Flames fought off a valiant effort from the Canadiens. Tkachuk now has three goals, two assists, 28 shots on net and 26 hits through seven appearances. Four of his five points have come on the power play, where the Flames are humming along at a 29.4 percent conversion rate, good for eighth in the league.

Tkachuk scored a power-play goal on nine shots and doled out five hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk brought the Flames within a goal in the third period with his third tally of the year. He was involved throughout the game, but Jack Campbell picked up eight saves on Tkachuk's team-high nine shots. The five hits also led all Flames. The 23-year-old winger is up to four points, 22 shots on goal and 16 hits through four appearances.

Tkachuk scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk served as the middleman between Elias Lindholm and goal-scorer Sean Monahan in the first period. In the third, it was Tkachuk's turn to finish on a rebound at the side of the net from a Johnny Gaudreau shot. The 23-year-old Tkachuk again led the Flames in shots (five) and hits (four), providing an excellent stat line in the process. The pesky winger has three points, 10 shots and nine hits through two contests, thriving in a top-six role.

Tkachuk scored a goal and was plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets. He also led the team in shots and hits, registering five of each.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk opened the scoring less than five minutes into the game, deflecting a Mark Giordano point shot despite being tangled up with a Winnipeg defenseman. The 23-year-old winger collected 23 goals and 61 points in 69 games a year ago after notching career highs of 34 and 77, respectively, in 2018-19. Look for him to return to the 25-goal range again while providing an additional boost to fantasy players in PIM leagues.

According to Aaron Vickers of NHL.com, when speaking to reporters Wednesday, Tkachuk said "I would say right around now I'd be ready to go again. That's why it's the hardest part."
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk was forced to watch his club fall to the Stars in six games in the first round after suffering an undisclosed injury in Game 2 of the series, but it sounds like he'd be ready to rock at this point had the Flames advanced. The 22-year-old winger, who racked up 22 goals and 61 points in 69 games during the regular season before adding two points in six playoff contests, will once again be locked into a top-six role and a spot on one of Calgary's power-play units in 2020-21, and he should only continue to get better during his fifth full NHL campaign.

Tkachuk (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Thursday's Game 6 matchup against the Stars, Ryan Leslie of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuck will miss his fourth consecutive game due to the undisclosed injury, and his timetable to return still remains unclear. In his stead, Tobias Rieder figures to continue slotting into a top-six role. Tkachuck's next chance to suit up would be in Game 7 on Saturday.

Tkachuk (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision against the Stars in Thursday's Game 3 clash, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk already missed the previous three games versus Dallas due to his undisclosed injury and could be in line to miss a fourth. In his last 10 outings, the Arizona native notched three goals, four helpers and 18 shots. With the winger sidelined, Tobias Rieder figures to continue slotting into a top-six role.

Tkachuk (undisclosed) won't play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Stars, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk has been considered a game-time decision for the Flames' last three contests and hasn't suited up for any of them, so at this point it seems like coach Geoff Ward may just be trying to keep the Stars guessing as to what his lineup is going to look like on a nightly basis. As such, it seems like a foregone conclusion that the gritty winger will once again be considered a game-time call ahead of Thursday's Game 6. For now, Tobias Rieder will continue to fill in for Tkachuk on the Flames' second line.

Tkachuk (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's Game 5 clash with Dallas, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk has already missed the Flames' previous two contests due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the winger generated just two points in six matchups despite logging 16:48 of ice time per game. Without Tkachuk in the lineup, Calgary has utilized Tobias Rieder in a top-six role.

Tkachuk (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's Game 4 versus the Stars, Ryan Leslie of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk will miss a second straight game after being injured by a collision with Jamie Benn in Game 2. Tobias Rieder filled in on the second line in Game 2, and he'll likely remain in place for this matchup. Since Tkachuk was considered a game-time call before this matchup, he has a decent chance to play in Game 5 on Tuesday.
