Tkachuk, the son of former Blue Keith Tkachuk, has 15 goals and 48 assists (63 points) in 33 games with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. Tkachuk also boasts a plus-25 rating this season and helped the United States to a bronze medal at the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championship, tying for the team lead with 11 points in the tournament.
But Tkachuk isn’t the only St. Louis native to make a splash on the midterm rankings. Clayton Keller (8th), Logan Brown (14), Luke Kunin (16) and Trent Frederic (39) also showed up in the Top 40.
