Brady Tkachuk leaves game against the Arizona Coyotes late with an injury after colliding with Liam O'Brien

The Ottawa Senators faced a setback in their recent game against the Arizona Coyotes as star forward Brady Tkachuk was forced to leave the ice late in the match due to an undisclosed injury. According to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, there was no immediate update on Tkachuk's condition following Friday's loss to the Coyotes.

Tkachuk's injury occurred during a collision with Coyotes player Liam O'Brien, leaving the 24-year-old forward sidelined for the remainder of the game. Despite his early departure, Tkachuk had managed to make an impact on the ice, registering two shots and logging an impressive 18 minutes and 46 seconds of playing time.

Throughout the season, Tkachuk has been a pivotal player for the Senators, tallying an impressive 26 goals and 50 points in 58 games. His absence from the lineup could pose a significant challenge for Ottawa as they prepare to face off against the Philadelphia Flyers in their upcoming game on Saturday.

The Ottawa Senators have struggled with injuries alll season, and losing Tkachuk would be a devastating blow in a season swarmed with injuries and suspensions.
