Overview

• Coach Travis Green said the injury stemmed from Josi’s first-period cross-check into the boards and offered no further update.
• Officials assessed Josi a two-minute minor on the play, prompting frustration from those who felt it warranted a harsher call.
• Tkachuk appeared to favor his right hand or wrist, logged 13:53 of ice time, and sat out the final nine minutes.
• Local reporter Bruce Garrioch noted the decision to keep Tkachuk out was not precautionary, indicating he was unable to continue.
• Ottawa’s next game is Wednesday against the Sabres, and Tkachuk’s status remains unclear as he is also an early U.S. Olympic team selection.
