Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Sens are his team now

The Sens are Brady's team now, even if he is just a teenager. Tkachuk is riding a three-game, four-point streak (two goals, two assists). He won't contend for the Calder, but could end up being the best of this year's forward class in a redraft 10 years from now. Stash him away.

Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Picks up goal in loss

It's been an impressive rookie season for Tkachuk, as the 19-year-old has managed 15 goals and 34 points in 57 games, while proving he'll be a mainstay in the NHL. Looking ahead, Tkachuk figures to be the main piece in Ottawa's rebuild, but fans will now have to hope that ownership shakes its alarming habit of trading away top-tier talent when it comes time to "pay up."

Tkachuk's 14th goal tied things up in the middle period, giving Ottawa's primary building block eight points in the month of February (12 games). The hard-nosed youngster also dished four hits in the loss. Tkachuk, a primary piece in the Sens' rebuilding plan, has 31 points in his first 51 NHL games.

While Tkachuk saw just 12:24 of ice time, that likely can be attributed to the fact that he spent seven minutes in the penalty box. The 2018 fourth overall pick has quickly made his mark at hockey's top level, recording 13 goals and 13 assists over 46 games. Tkachuk has also proven he's willing to get his hands dirty, spending 59 minutes in the penalty box. The team will likely try to get him to slow that down to keep him on the ice more often, but Tkachuk has proven early in his career that he's the real deal.

Since tallying 16 points over the first 15 games of his NHL career, Tkachuk has managed a total of seven over 24 contests. He has struggled to convert scoring chances since posting a 19.1 shooting percentage in his first 15 games. Going back to Dec. 1, in the 24 games that followed his hot start, Tkachuk has scored on only 3.7 percent of his shots.
