Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk may not have learned his lesson after serving a two-game suspension.
The 19-year-old will return to the lineup Saturday when his Flames tangle with the St. Louis Blues after sitting two games for elbowing Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty, and the rookie admits the discipline won't impact the way he plays.
"I'm not changing my game at all," Tkachuk said.
To be fair, that might not be a bad idea.
Tkachuk has proven his value as he sits sixth in rookie scoring with 46 points in 68 games and leads all first-year players - and the Flames - with 96 penalty minutes.
