Arizona is in italics because the franchise moved. Utah has its own row because those games were played against a different team in a different city, and merging them would bury the point of the first paragraph.

How many career goals does Matthew Tkachuk have?

257, alongside 439 assists, for 696 points in 691 games. That is 82.6 points per 82 games, and 63.1 percent of them are assists.

The assist share is the key to the whole table. On a career where almost two-thirds of the production is passing, a row where goals outnumber assists is a genuine outlier, and there are only two: the New York Islanders, where he has 12 goals and 7 assists in 18 games, and Arizona.

Matthew Tkachuk’s career stats against the Jets and his best opponents

Against the Winnipeg Jets, he has 29 points in 31 games, 10 goals and 19 assists, which sits a shade below his career rate at 76.7 per 82.

The rate leader among the teams he has played most is San Jose: 33 points in 26 games, 104.1 per 82. Vancouver has given up the most points in total, 36 in 38 games, along with 15 goals, which ties Arizona for his highest total against anyone. Ottawa has conceded 35 points in 30 games, 26 of them assists, and a plus-13, his second-best figure.

Colorado is the purest version of his profile: 24 assists against 5 goals in 21 games. St. Louis has given up 31 points in 21.

Toronto is the exception that runs the other way. In 29 games, he has 14 points, 39.6 per 82, from 88 shots at 6.8 percent. Only Anaheim, at 6.0 percent on 67 shots, has held him to fewer per attempt, and Anaheim has still conceded 18 points because he has 14 assists there.

Matthew Tkachuk’s career fights and penalty minutes

770 penalty minutes in 691 games, a rate of 1.11 per game, and the distribution is lopsided.

Edmonton accounts for 71 of them in 34 games and Los Angeles 59 in 25, which is 2.36 penalty minutes per game against Los Angeles, more than double his career rate. Tampa Bay has drawn 48 in 19 games and Ottawa 44 in 30.

The same caution applies here as to any penalty minute table. These numbers cannot tell you how many fights he has been in. A major is the fastest way to accumulate minutes, and fighting is the most common major, but boarding, charging, spearing, and high-sticking all carry five minutes too, and a misconduct carries ten without a punch being thrown. The column counts time in the box, nothing else.

Which teams has Matthew Tkachuk played for?

The Calgary Flames and the Florida Panthers. He has played 6 games against his first team, recording 1 goal, 3 assists, and a minus-4.

Florida’s runs to 10 games at a 22.7 shooting percentage, the highest figure in the table outside Arizona, and those were the games before he joined them.

The plus-minus column disagrees with the points column

Matthew Tkachuk’s career plus-minus is plus 124, which is a large positive number for a forward over 691 games, and the table shows it was not built evenly.

Anaheim accounts for plus 14 on 25 games, Ottawa plus 13 on 30, Columbus plus 12 on 18, and Edmonton plus 12 on 34. Those four alone cover plus 51.

Then there is Chicago, and it is the row that refuses to fit. In 23 games against Chicago, he has 23 points, his equal third-highest total against anyone, and a minus 11, which is the worst figure in his table by seven. A player can be on the ice for a great many goals at both ends, and against Chicago he appears to have been.

Which teams has Matthew Tkachuk never scored against?

One, and it has two games in it. Utah is the only franchise he has faced without scoring, and the sample is four shots.

Thirteen of the 33 rows carry no game-winning goal, which is the more durable absence. Against Toronto, in 29 games, he has none. Against Vancouver, in 38, he has none either, despite 36 points.
