“It would be nice to have him out there every single night,” forward Drake Batherson said about his teammate Brady Tkachuk. Unfortunately, the Ottawa Senators captain, who also happens to be their highest scorer this season missed his eighth match on Tuesday night against the Blackhawks. Yet, with the Sentaors clinching a playoff spot for the first time in eight years, the stars have aligned for a legendary battle among rivals.
In just a few days, the Senators will give passionate fans like Paul Bissonnette what they’ve been hearing for; The Battle of Ontario. The last time NHL fans witnessed the legendary rivalry between the Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs play out in the playoffs was two decades ago. It’s clear as day why the Sentaors absolutely need their captain for the clash decades in the making.
Thankfully, Brady Tkachuk looks like he is right on time to make a full recovery. TSN’s Bruce Garrioch became the bearer of good news for Senators fans. “A decision on Brady Tkachuk will be made Thursday. Will likely be available to play. That decision is TBD. Most certainly game 1 against Toronto,” wrote the broadcaster.
