For the Red Wings, this dwelling news puts a large setback on their Atlantic divisional rivals point production in the regular season leading up to the NHL playoffs.
Brady Tkachuk likely to require surgery and be out long-term for the Senators
The latest update coming from head coach Travis Greene does not sound promising whatsoever; following Tkachuk seeking a second opinion on Wednesday, it clearly did not go well, as a true declaration on his injury is still up in the air.
The only thing Green knows is that it will be a significant amount of time. Originally, the timeline was a minimum of four weeks; now, it's looking like it could be up to two months minimum.
"Tkachuk is still being evaluated. He will be out for a significant amount of time. "I don't have an update," said Green.
