The son of Medford native and former Malden Catholic Lancer Keith Tkachuk, Matthew, is getting a crash course at life in the National Hockey League. The 6-foot-2, 202-pound left winger has five goals and four assists in his first 19 NHL games, not a bad start for someone just two weeks shy of his 19 birthday.
Those two minutes were added to on a double minor high-sticking call in the second. But Warning helped rally the Mallards. He scored a go-ahead goal in the third that was eventually matched, but then fired in the game-ending mark, after Alex Petan buried QC’s first shootout chance, in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Indy Fuel at the iWireless Center.
When Matthew Tkachuk entered the NHL this year, he didn’t know if he was going to stay or go back to junior. Neither did Calgary Flames’ General Manager, Brad Treliving, who had been on the fence about the final decision.
It was not the homecoming Windsor Spitfires centre Logan Brown had envisioned.
Although he was born in the United States, Brown spends most of his summers in the nation’s capital and has plenty of family in the area.
Bearing a striking resemblance to his legendary father, Keith, Matthew Tkachuk is proving to be a chip off the old block.
The Calgary Flames rookie and his team will take on the Boston Bruins, Friday, Nov. 25 at the TD Garden.

The 18-year-old Tkachuk, with five goals of his own and an abrasive style that drives opponents bonkers, has been one of few bright spots for the Flames.
Wideman scored four goals, added three assists and was +7 last week, helping the Fuel to a 3-0-0 record.
The 24-year-old tallied a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over Wheeling on Friday and in a 4-3 victory against Atlanta on Saturday before notching three points (2g-1a) in a 6-5 win over the Gladiators on Sunday.
