GM <strong>Pierre Dorion<\/strong> said that it was nothing major and that the team just wants to be careful with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the pre-season, Tkachuk scored one goal and had one assist for two points through four games played. He also added 10 minutes in penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Last season, Tkachuk posted eight goals and 23 assists for 31 points through 40 games for Boston University. He was expected to debut on the second line with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/stonema01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Mark Stone<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It&#8217;s nothing serious, it&#8217;s a nagging little injury and we want to be cautious with it,&#8221; Dorion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsn.ca\/dorion-top-pick-tkachuk-has-groin-strain-1.1185278\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told reporters on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Coach\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/coaches\/bouchgu99c.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Guy Boucher<\/strong><\/a>, when talking about Tkachuk missing the first game said he feels for Tkachuk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s had a terrific camp and, as a team, you\u2019re disappointed. For him, I\u2019m sure he was really looking forward to his first NHL game. It was at home and everything,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/ottawasun.com\/sports\/hockey\/nhl\/ottawa-senators\/senators-brady-tkachuk-doubtful-for-thursday\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Boucher said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What This Means for the Future<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tkachuk, the fourth overall pick from the 2018 Entry Draft, was set to make his debut Thursday, although now that he is ruled out for the game against the Blackhawks. The next possible game he could start would be against the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/maple-leafs\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toronto Maple Leafs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This does not affect the Senators season much, as it is only a minor injury. This shouldn\u2019t affect where they end up in the standings at the end of the season. With Tkachuk only being out for such a short period of time, it won\u2019t have any effect on his development through the year, as it is just the team being cautious by keeping Tkachuk out a game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main Image Credit:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1044067028\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1044067028?et=I_JuulvuQuJNjZmsYQEeng&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=HJFC07V2eSOlol6qA8xHKIaUqNtM6ynqcAQqekIMX5o=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ottawa Senators have announced that left wing Brady Tkachuk is sidelined for the season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday with a groin injury.
