Tkachuk scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.
As has often been the case this season, Tkachuk came through when Ottawa needed him the most. The star forward netted the game-winning goal just 1:46 into overtime, taking advantage of a set-up from Jake Sanderson to drill a wrister past Tristan Jarry. Tkachuk has two goals over his last three games, but his game-to-game consistency hasn't been there of late, with the 25-year-old failing to score in three of his last five appearances. Even if that stretch can be classified as a down period, the star winger remains highly productive with 32 points (15 goals, 17 assists) in 30 games this season.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Scores, shows snarl in loss
Rotowire
Tkachuk scored a power-play goal on two shots, doled out seven hits and added 21 PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canucks.
This game turned nasty after Quinn Hughes boarded Josh Norris, and nasty works just fine for Tkachuk. He was involved in a dust-up in each period, and the referees had enough of the winger's antics after his third-period fight with Dakota Joshua, tacking a misconduct penalty onto Tkachuk's line. The Senators nearly made a comeback without their captain, so that aggression may have been misplaced in a game that was still somewhat up for grabs. Fantasy managers won't mind -- Tkachuk now has 10 goals, 11 assists, 82 shots on net, 92 hits and a league-leading 48 PIM through 20 appearances this season. Few players can even approach a stat line of that caliber, making the 25-year-old somewhat of a unicorn for fantasy purposes.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Set to play Thursday
Rotowire
Tkachuk (upper body) is expected to feature in the lineup against Florida on Thursday.

The 25-year-old winger has missed just one game over Ottawa's previous two campaigns, reaching the 70-point threshold in each of those seasons. Barring a long-term injury absence, Tkachuk should be capable of getting over that mark again in 2024-25, making him a top-end fantasy product.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Skating at Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Tkachuk (upper body) was skating during Thursday's practice session, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

Tkachuk will be in the mix to suit up this weekend as the Senators close out preseason play Friday against Detroit and Saturday against Montreal, but Green didn't definitively indicate whether Tkachuk would be able to play.
