Tkachuk (leg) was placed on injured reserve by the Senators, per the NHL media site. Considering Tkachuk is expected to be sidelined for at least a month, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him land on injured reserve. Given the number of injuries the club is dealing with, a call-up from AHL Belleville ahead of Saturday's clash with Montreal seams inevitable. Rudolfs Balcers or Filip Chlapik likely top the short list of options.
Previous to the Seams vs Senators there has been some serious injuries.
Tkachuk was seriously injured before Seams vs Senators. This is probably hard for the system because its difficult to process that they have yet to play the team and he is already injured.
