While Tkachuk left a lasting legacy in Arizona, he also made a large impact for the city of St. Louis. He was traded to the Blues in 2001 by the Coyotes. Through his nine seasons in St. Louis Tkachuk had 208 goals, 219 assists and 427 points.

Tkachuk was known not just to be a goal scorer, but a ferocious player as he was never afraid to drop the gloves and fight. These traits have now been passed onto his two sons, Matthew Tkachuk who plays for the Florida Panthers and Brady Tkachuk who is the captain of the Ottawa Senators. 240115 Practice_Tourigny There is a lot to remember when looking back at Keith’s legendary career.
