Brady Tkachuk of the Senators plans to return vs. the Blues

Brady Tkachuk announced on his podcast “Wingman” with his brother Matthew Tkachuk, that he is targeting Friday’s game against the hometown St. Louis Blues for his return.

“We have to check some boxes but everything looks good for Friday,” Tkachuk said.

Tkachuk is out the first week of the season and had surgery on his right hand on October 16. He had previously said that the week of US Thanksgiving was his target for a comeback.

The Senators enter Wednesday’s game in third place in the Atlantic Division with an 11-7-4 record.
