Ottawa Senators rookie forward Brady Tkachuk will miss about a month with a torn ligament in his leg, the team announced Wednesday.
The fourth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft has been an offensive catalyst for the Sens thus far, as the 19-year-old already has three goals, three assists, and 14 shots through his first four NHL games.
The timing of the injury isn't ideal for the Senators, as the club is already without Ryan Dzingel, Alex Formenton, and Cody Ceci due to various ailments.
