OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Brady Tkachuk says he’s ready to go.
After missing the Senators’ last eight games because of an upper-body injury, the Ottawa captain returned to the lineup Thursday night for the regular-season finale against Carolina but didn’t finish the game.
Tkachuk sat out the third period of the Senators’ 7-5 victory after taking a stick to the face.
