Speculation on my part, but I imagine Tkachuk asks for a trade in the offseason. He doesn't want to go to battle with these guys anymore and the leaders on the team, like Lucic, Backlund and Gio can't seem to fix it.

It’s different problems all around. Gaudreau was pretty good, but got picked off a lot, and didn’t quite had the stuff he had the last few games. Monahan was present but the puck hated him tonight. A couple bad passes and a real whiff.
But at least those two guys were in on the play. Tkachuk - I can’t remember a play other than not being able to get a stick on a puck with a wide open net, and blocking a shot at the EN (and laying on the ice for a while).
Heck, even Dube, Mangiapane, Lucic and Lindholm were pretty ineffective tonight.
