Time Machine: One year ago, Matthew Tkachuk had his best game

Life was going well for the Calgary Flames on this day in 2019. The Flames were rolling with a 43-20-7 record, sitting just a point behind the San Jose Sharks for top spot in the Pacific Division. The Flames were hosting the New York Rangers hoping to leap-frog the Sharks.

They received an all-time performance from Matthew Tkachuk that allowed them to do just that.

A couple nights prior, the Flames played a weirdly competitive game against the lowly New Jersey Devils. Maybe it was that near-miss that put a scare into them, but the Flames were all over the Rangers from the get-go.
