Brady Tkachuk's NHL debut will have to wait.
The Ottawa Senators rookie forward will miss the club's season opener on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks with a mild groin strain, general manager Pierre Dorion said, according to TSN's Ian Mendes.
Tkachuk earned a spot on the Senators' roster after tallying one goal, one assist, eight shots, eight hits, and three penalties drawn in four preseason games.
The 19-year-old was the fourth overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft after a 31-point season at Boston University.
