For the first time since 2014, NHL players will compete in the Winter Olympics in 2026. Twelve years without participating in the Olympics is long enough for NHL players. So far, there have been two players on the Ottawa Senators roster that will play in the Olympics.
Brady Tkachuk was named for Team USA's roster; Tim Stutzle was named for Germany's roster. Tkachuk and Stutzle were both one of the first six players announced for their respected roster they made. More excitement for both Tkachuk and Stutzle will be there in February as Team USA and Germany will face each other in the Olympics.
