Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk will play in the team\'s regular-season finale Thursday against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes after missing eight games with an upper-body injury.
The Senators qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2017, and Tkachuk wants to be certain he will be fully ready for the first-round series against the rival Toronto Maple Leafs that starts Sunday.
\"I want to make sure that I\'m 100% right,\" Tkachuk told reporters. \"I\'m going to play 100% tonight.\"
