Senators captain Tkachuk to replace injured teammate Batherson at all-star weekend

Jan 26, 2022 | 11:34 AM

Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk has been added to the Atlantic Division’s roster for the upcoming NHL all-star weekend.

Tkachuk replaces Drake Batherson, who was injured in Ottawa’s 5-0 win over visiting Buffalo on Tuesday night when he was shoved into the boards by Sabres goalie Aaron Dell.

It’s the second all-star nod for Tkachuk, who replaced injured Toronto centre Auston Matthews in 2020.

Tkachuk has 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 33 games this season, his fourth since being selected fourth overall by Ottawa in the 2018 draft. 

He was named the 10th captain in Senators history earlier this season.
