Senators Captain Brady Tkachuk Out for Several Weeks Due to Injury
Senators lost captain Brady Tkachuk early due to a cross-check injury and struggled on power plays despite Nashville’s ineffective penalty kill, falling 4-1 at home.
- On Monday in Ottawa, the Nashville Predators beat the Ottawa Senators 4-1 with Juuse Saros making 31 saves to secure the road win.
- After an early cross-check, Senators captain Brady Tkachuk left the action, limited to 13:53 of ice time as Ottawa played the final nine minutes without him.
- Jonathan Marchessault opened the scoring at 12:11 of the second period, Ryan O'Reilly's third-period goal at 5:22 held as the winner, and Ridley Greig's late power-play goal was followed by empty-net goals from Marchessault and Cole Smith.
- The Senators face roster pressure with Drake Batherson out and Tkachuk limited, and Travis Green called the power play a work in progress after five power-play goals allowed in two games.
- Despite a 0 for 6 power play, Nashville still produced a four-goal road opener, the sixth time in franchise history, and continues its Canadian trip Tuesday in Toronto.
