Matthew Tkachuk certainly looks like an NHLer.
The Calgary Flames rookie showed off his speed and skill Thursday against the San Jose Sharks, taking a feed from Michael Frolik and fooling goaltender Martin Jones for his second goal of the game.
Tkachuk's goal held up as the game-winner in a 3-2 victory.
It came mere hours after the Flames announced they were keeping the 18-year-old for his 10th game of the season, thus burning the first-year of his entry-level contract.
