Tkachuk will have a phone hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Friday regarding his actions in Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the Red Wings, John Shannon of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk started an all-out brawl with the Red Wings when he tapped Luke Witkowski's leg with his stick in the third period of Wednesday's contest, so additional punishment in the form of a fine or suspension certainly isn't out of the question. The 19-year-old winger was suspended for two games last season for elbowing LA's Drew Doughty, which means he'll be considered a repeat offender during his hearing with the league. His status for Saturday's matchup with the Flyers should be revealed after his phone call with the NHL on Friday.

Tkachuk recorded two assists during Monday's 7-4 win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Now up to four goals and 13 points through 17 games, Tkachuk has quickly proven last season's 48-point debut wasn't a fluke. He's a cross-category contributor with untapped scoring upside, and he's probably already a better real-world player than fantasy asset -- a true rarity among 19-year-old NHLers. It might take some time for Tkachuk to reach his offensive potential, but he's already established himself as an excellent virtual option for years to come.

Tkachuk scored his fourth goal of the season and fired six shots on goal in Thursday's win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk is starting to take off for the Flames and has gotten on the scoresheet in three of his last four outings. The 19-year-old is a solid all-around fantasy option due to his four goals, 14 PIM and power-play production. Tkachuk has been more consistent of late, and this is a great sign for his fantasy owners, as the youngster has all the makings of a lethal fantasy weapon. Keep him rolling.

Tkachuk had the primary assist on both goals in a 5-2 defeat to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk continued to reward fantasy owners as he's now reached five assists on the season. The 19-year-old wing is prone to inconsistency, but he's playing well right now and looks like he could outdo his rookie season of 48 points.

Tkachuk potted his third goal of the season and fired five shots on goal in Tuesday's shootout win over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk had a very strong game, also burying the shootout winner. He's a reliable fantasy play in most formats right now, but his potential is through the roof given his role on the power play and strong PIM totals. Keep him rolling, as Tkachuk is locked into a top-six role and will look to build on the 48 points he recorded in his rookie campaign.

Tkachuk has marked the scoresheet in four of eight games this season for two goals and three assists.
EDGE Analysis
After an excellent rookie campaign, showing up game in, game out is the next step to Tkachuk establishing himself as a go-to asset. He already boasts a great cross-category profile and offers a high fantasy floor, but it still might take some time for the 19-year-old winger to live up to his tremendous upside.

Tkachuk scored two goals, one on the power play, on eight shots in a 4-3 overtime win versus the Kings on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
After only notching four shots on net through his first three games, Tkachuk certainly took things up a notch here. As a rookie, Tkachuk was helpful in fantasy leagues, especially though who count penalty minutes. Keith's son registered 105 of those in 76 games.

Tkachuk (hip) will suit up for Monday's preseason tilt against the Jets, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fanreports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk has been limited in preseason with a nagging hip ailment, but a few days rest seems to have done him good. The winger notched 13 goals and 35 helpers in his first season, which put him sixth in points among rookies. Given the 19-year-old's skill set and the talent around him, he should challenge for 50-plus points -- if he can avoid the dreaded sophomore slump.

Tkachuk (hip) will sit out Friday's preseason tilt against Arizona, Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2016 first-round pick has already missed Calgary's first three preseason games, but after skating on his own Thursday morning, is hoping to return Monday against Winnipeg. The organization should provide confirmation of Tkachuk's status ahead of Monday's contest.

Tkachuk (hip) will not take part in Wednesday's matchup against the Canucks, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The FAN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tkachuk's hip injury was initially described by the team as being relatively minor; however, as the length of his absence continues to extend toward the regular season, fantasy owners are no doubt starting to get nervous. Calgary may just be playing it safe with its 19-year-old star prospect, but this will be a situation to monitor closely as Opening Night is just two weeks away.
