Matthew Tkachuk is here to stay.
Drafted sixth overall by the Calgary Flames in June, Tkachuk, 18, will remain with the club beyond the nine-game threshold, burning the first year of his entry-level contract.
His 10th game goes Thursday against the San Jose Sharks.
"Nothing changes in my mindset," Tkachuk said. "It's a day-by-day process."
Tkachuk has recorded one goal and three assists, averaging nearly 12 minutes of ice-time through nine games.
