First Career Playoff Goals From Matthew Tkachuk in Game 1
6 years agoCalgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk had as effective of a game as anyone could ask for, scoring his first two career playoff goals, registering three shots and four hits and working his way under the skin of as many Colorado players as he could. It was a quintessential Tkachuk game for the young forward, who is carrying over his breakout regular season into the playoffs. Only teammate Mikael Backlund saw more ice time than Tkachuk out of Calgary's forward group on Thursday, hinting that Calgary's second line may be a point of emphasis in the series as they attack Colorado's depth. If that continues to be the case, Tkachuk could have a big series ahead of him.
