Monster Day for Matthew Tkachuk Leads Flames Over Rangers
6 years agoCalgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk collected two goals and three assists, factoring in on all five of Calgary's goals in Friday night's win. He also added five shots and three hits to his already obscene fantasy production in the game. Tkachuk now has a career-high 73 points and is one of the hottest players in the game this week with 10 points in his last three games. If there is any downside to his scorching production, it is that none of his last 11 points have come on the power play, with his last power-play point coming on March 4. However, being able to produce like this at even-strength is a sign that his production could be more sustainable as it is not contingent on playing with the man-advantage. Tkachuk is a must-start every night, and he is pulling linemates Mikael Backlund and Michael Frolik into fantasy relevance with his blistering hot streak.
