Overview

  • Head coach Travis Green said the captain will miss a minimum of four weeks with a right hand/wrist injury sustained Monday against Nashville.
  • The injury followed a first-period cross-check from Predators captain Roman Josi that sent Tkachuk into the boards; officials assessed a two-minute minor.
  • Tkachuk continued to play but logged only 13:53 and did not take a shift in the final nine minutes of the 4-1 loss.
  • Further evaluation is ongoing, with surgery not ruled out, which could extend the absence beyond a month.
  • Ottawa is planning short-term lineup changes, with Drake Batherson expected to return for Wednesday’s game in Buffalo as options to cover top-line minutes are assessed; a surgical route could also impact Tkachuk’s availability for Team USA in February.
