Brady Tkachuk Makes Early Exit For Precautionary Reasons
Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk (undisclosed) logged only 10:37 of ice time on Thursday against the Carolina Hurricanes as he returned from an eight-game absence.

Fortunately, it was announced after the game that Tkachuk exited for precautionary reasons. The Senators captain should be good to go for Game 1 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday. Tkachuk will make his Stanley Cup Playoffs debut in the contest. During the regular season, Tkachuk posted only one point in three meetings with the Maple Leafs.

On Monday, Tkachuk practiced with the team for the first time since getting hurt. He wore a non-contact jersey and took line rushes alongside Tim Stutzle and Fabian Zetterlund.

I can't give you a definitive [answer]." Tkachuk has been sidelined for the past five games while nursing an upper-body injury. Based on Staios' comments, it seems that Tkachuk isn't facing a serious issue, but the team wants to get him in a better condition for the playoffs. Ottawa has already clinched a spot in the postseason for the first time in eight years.
