Sergei Belski-USA TODAY Sports

Welcome to the NHL, Matthew Tkachuk.

The 18-year-old first-round pick of the Calgary Flames scored his first career goal during Tuesday's game against Buffalo, tying the game in the early half of the final frame.

Matt Stajan drew the assist, as the Flames remind us Tkachuk has one of the best Twitter handles in the game.

Tkachuk was drafted sixth overall by the Flames this past June.
