The Ottawa Senators lost all their games to the Carolina Hurricanes last week in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
This loss means the players and staff will face some hard questions on the day they clean out their lockers.
The player who has faced the most questions since this last defeat is captain Brady Tkachuk. There has been a lot of talk about trade rumors involving Tkachuk ever since he achieved a big win for the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
Although many were eager to ask Tkachuk questions today, it became known that he would not be there for the locker room cleanout. This isn’t because Tkachuk is avoiding his duties; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Senator’s insider Bruce Garrioch reported this morning that Tkachuk has stepped away from the team to be with his wife, Emma.
Tkachuk and Emma are getting ready to welcome their second child, and since the season has already ended, it makes perfect sense for him to be with his family during such an important time.
Even though some people on social media have criticized Tkachuk for missing what would have been a tough day for him, most fans have shown support for his choice to be with his family.
