TheOttawa Senatorswere back in action Thursday, and Team USA star Brady Tkachuk was right in the middle of things in the team’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
Tkachuk, 26, opened the scoring in the game when he ripped a shot from the slot on apower playto give the Senators a 1-0 lead in the first period.
While Tkachuk and the Senators were held off the score sheet the rest of the game, he was still involved in the action.

In the second period, after the Red Wings tied the game on Dylan Larkin’s power-play goal, Tkachuk was bloodied on a hit.
Edvinsson landed a couple of solid punches and dropped Cozens to the ice.After the fight, Tkachuk was helped to the bench by a trainer, holding a towel to his face.

After Edvinsson and Cozens fought, numerous other Red Wings and Senators players were tangled up with one another.They eventually were untangled, and the referees were convening at center ice when Tkachuk skated off the bench and toward the Red Wings penalty box to talk to Edvinsson.
The referees quickly skated over to pull Tkachuk away and promptly handed him a 10-minute misconduct penalty.Once in the box, Tkachuk and Edvinsson stood and barked at each other.
