The Ottawa Senators are making a strong push towards the playoffs in the latter part of the season, offering a chance to qualify for the postseason after a considerable duration. Despite having a prime opportunity to secure two points against the depleted Chicago Blackhawks in their recent game, which would have brought them a step closer to a playoff berth, they were soundly defeated 5-0.
During the second period of the game, Brady Tkachuk was positioned in front of the net on a powerplay when he collided with Jared Tinordi, resulting in Tkachuk knocking Blackhawks' goaltender Alex Stalock into his net. This led to a chaotic situation unfolding on the ice.

Later in the third period, Tkachuk tries to go after Blackhawks goaltender Alex Stalock, which gets him ejected:
