With the newest installment of the NHL video game, NHL 26, set to hit stores on September 12, St. Louis native Matthew Tkachuk graces the cover.
In a new reveal this afternoon, it is now come to light that the Deluxe Version of the game will feature a former St. Louis Blues legend on the cover, along with Matthew and Brady Tkachuk. That legendary Blue is no other than their father, Keith Tkachuk.
A legacy on full display.

This is the first time a member of the Blues organization has been on the cover of the game since Vladimir Taresanko did for NHL 17. Keith Tkachuk has been a legend in this game for a long time, via their Hockey Ultimate Team mode, and now he gets to be apart of a video game cover with both of his sons. What a legacy.
