After Sunday’s game, I remember getting notifications from my Yahoo Sports in my pools saying that Matthew Tkachuk has switched from healthy to day-to-day and I’m like “Um, excuse me? When did this happen?” The Calgary Flames sophomore will be missing a game due to injury for the first time since the start of his NHL career.
Yesterday there were some more scares during practice. Sean Monahan was out, Mikael Backlund was out, and so was Tkachuk. All the lines were completely different consequently. Having that on top of Kris Versteeg still being out and everyone on Twitter had a mild freakout.
