Now, Tkachuk is heading back to Calgary for round two. And while you can expect that he is going to hear some boos from the Flames’ faithful, you can also expect that Tkachuk will once again be motivated to find his way onto the scoresheet.

For that reason — and also because he’s got 10 goals and 29 points in 20 games — it’s not surprising that FanDuel has Tkachuk as a +180 favourite to score against the Flames on Tuesday night.
With five goals in the past six games, it’s about as safe bet as you’re going to find, especially considering that Tkachuk has 21 shots on net during that span.
