On Tuesday evening against the Florida Panthers, Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk did what he seemingly does better than anybody in the National Hockey League: he scored a slick tip-in goal.
His goal, Calgary’s fourth in a 5-1 victory, punctuated a superb rush play by the Flames’ top line.
Matthew Tkachuk.

A bunch of things happen fairly quickly in the lead-up to the goal being scored:
- Florida’s Aleksander Barkov fires a shot from the right wing that misses the Flames net entirely, glances off the plexiglass, and bounces into the neutral zone.
