I think the formation of the Gaudreau-Tkachuk pairing has done wonders for both players. Tkachuk's season didn't turn this season IMO, it started last season. Prior to Gaudreau promotion to Lindholm's line, Tkachuk was on pace for something like 50ish points in an 82 game season, but post-Gaudreau, he went a point per game. Now he's managed to carry his fine play into this season and it's paying dividends for the team's overall success.
