He also added two hits, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in 20:58 of ice time. The 26-year old winger should continue to be a major contributor for fantasy teams throughout the season and into the playoffs.

He has 22 goals, 76 points and 76 PIM in 67 contests in 2023-24.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk scored his first career shorthanded goal on a 3-on-1 rush, beating Andrei Vasilevskiy blocker side from the right circle. The tally snapped an eight-game goal slump, though he did record seven assists in that span. Tkachuk has continued his second-half point explosion. Since Dec. 29, he has 52 points in 33 outings after putting up 24 in his first 34. If he continues to score at his second-half rate, Tkachuk will flirt with the 100-point mark, which would be his third consecutive century season.

EDGE Analysis

It's the sixth multi-point performance in the last 12 games for Tkachuk, who's erupted for five goals and 20 points over that stretch. A sluggish start to the season could result in the 26-year-old winger failing to reach 100 points for the third straight campaign, but he's been doing his best to make up the difference and is now up to 71 points (21 goals, 50 helpers) through 62 contests.

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.

The 26-year-old saw his six-game point streak come to an end Thursday. He has 20 goals, 45 assists, 200 shots on goal and 93 hits in 57 games this season. Carter Verhaeghe is projected to play in Tkachuk's place alongside Sam Bennett and Nick Cousins in Saturday's contest.
