Brady Tkachuk Announces Return to Sens Lineup on Friday
Brady Tkachuk aims to return after six weeks recovering from right-thumb surgery, motivated by playing in front of family in his St. Louis hometown.
- On Nov. 27, 2025, Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk said he hopes to return Friday against St. Louis, giving the Senators a major boost during their road stretch.
- Following the Oct. 13 incident, Tkachuk was cross-checked into the boards by Nashville's Roman Josi, injuring his right thumb; he missed 19 games and had surgery four days later.
- Recovering aggressively, Tkachuk returned to the ice without a stick six days after surgery and added power skating, conditioning, and stick work at the four-week mark.
- With a slim hold on a playoff spot, Ottawa has an 11-5-4 record without Tkachuk during a seven-game road trip, making his return timely for the push.
- The schedule coincidentally places his first opportunity in St. Louis, Missouri, and Tkachuk said returning there to play before family and friends became a target date motivation during rehab.
