He leads by example,&#8221; Senators forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/drake-batherson-8480208\" title=\"Drake Batherson\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Drake Batherson<\/a> said. &#8220;So, we have a lot of older guys and guys who&#8217;ve been around who can step in and help out, but at the end of the day, you can&#8217;t replace a player like that. All you can do, everyone of us (can) just play a little better and try to take over for what we&#8217;re missing from him as much as we can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In June, Tkachuk was among the first six players named to the United States&#8217; roster for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. His brother, Florida Panthers forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/player\/matthew-tkachuk-8479314\" title=\"Matthew Tkachuk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matthew Tkachuk<\/a>, was also named. They were teammates for the U.S. at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s unfortunate,&#8221; Green said. &#8220;You don\u2019t want to lose a player, and you don\u2019t want to lose a player of his stature. We\u2019re not going to dwell on it. It\u2019s just like when anyone else gets hurt, we\u2019re going to move on quickly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Brady will be around our team and will be the captain that he is, but he won\u2019t be playing.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Selected by Ottawa with the No. 4 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, the 26-year-old forward has 407&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-216617","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
