Ottawa Senators
Senators forward Brady Tkachuk was not at the team's morning skate ahead of hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning and will not play tonight. He is listed as day-to-day.
The Sens captain missed Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Buffalo due to an upper-body injury he sustained after taking a hit from Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Ryan Graves in Sunday's 1-0 overtime loss.
Tkachuk has 29 goals and 55 points in 71 games this season.
Forward Nick Cousins practiced with the team Thursday in a non-contact jersey for the first time since injuring his knee on Jan 25. He was initially expected to miss the rest of the regular season.
