Tkachuk had an assist and three hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk is up to eight points and 18 PIM in 10 games this year after setting up Mikael Backlund's game-winning goal Sunday. The fiery winger has added 21 shots on goal and 21 hits as well this season while being one of the top offensive producers for the Flames.

Tkachuk provided a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk relayed an entry pass from Sean Monahan over to Elias Lindholm, who batted the bouncing puck past Jimmy Howard for what was ultimately the game-winner. With seven points, 19 shots and 17 hits in eight games, Tkachuk has contributed quite nicely from the second line to start the year.

Tkachuk had a helper in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk also skated on 12:51 in the contest, which probably was just Bill Peters resting the star winger when the Golden Knights took control of the game. Tkachuk has six points and 16 hits in the first five games of the season.

Tkachuk posted an assist and four hits in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk was able to steal the puck and dish it to Mikael Backlund, who relayed to Noah Hanifin for the Flames' tying goal in the contest. The 21-year-old winger has recorded five points and 15 hits in four games this season, showing no rust from his contract holdout during training camp.

Tkachuk scored twice, added a helper and delivered a game-high seven hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk was in on all of the Flames' goals, including a game-tying tally with 1:04 remaining in the third period to salvage a point from an otherwise ugly contest. The winger has two goals and two assists through three games.

Tkachuk provided a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk's helper came on a second-period goal by Johnny Gaudreau. Tkachuk missed all but the end of training camp, but it appears the extended layoff won't hurt his production to start the campaign. After posting 77 points (34 goals, 43 assists) and 104 hits in 80 games last season, the first-round pick from 2016 will be trying to avoid some expected regression.

Tkachuk agreed to terms on a three-year, $21 million contract with Calgary on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk is coming off a career-best season in which he set highs in goals (34), assists (43) and power-play points (24). The winger was also able to hit the 80-game mark for the first time in his three-year NHL career. Heading into the 2019-20 campaign, it wouldn't be a shock to see the youngster increase his productivity and move himself into the elite fantasy category.

Tkachuk has not reported to training camp, as he is currently not under contract.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk and the Flames have been unable to reach an agreement on presumably a long-term contract, and Tkachuk will miss the beginning of training camp as the two sides try to work out a deal. It's a big loss for the Flames after the winger posted a 34-goal, 77-point breakout season in the final year of his entry-level deal. It may hurt the 21-year-old's fantasy stock as well, as it's unclear if a deal will be reached before the start of the regular season.

Tkachuk was awarded a qualifying offer from the Flames on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The qualifying offer was likely a formality for the Flames, as the two sides try to work out a long-term deal for the sixth-overall pick in 2016. The 21-year-old had a breakout year with 77 points in 80 appearances in the regular season in the final year of his entry-level deal. It is possible the American winger's cap hit could exceed the $6.75 million that left wing Johnny Gaudreau currently earns. His contract extension will likely be at the top of the list for offseason priorities for the Flames.

Tkachuk will not attend the World Championship in Slovakia due to upcoming contract negotiations, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
