Brady Tkachuk, captain of the Ottawa Senators, is adopting a playoff mindset as they battle for a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. With 23 regular-season games left and just two points behind the Detroit Red Wings, Tkachuk returned from injury to help secure a crucial 5-3 win against the San Jose Sharks, breaking a five-game losing streak. He acknowledges that this late part of the season demands heightened performance, stating playoff hockey begins now, emphasizing the importance of winning games to secure a playoff spot. He believes the team should gain confidence in overcoming deficits as they strive for postseason contention.
"Just a big two points. I mean, playoff hockey starts now, so, you've got to win these games to get into the dance."
"I mean, those are going to be positions that we're going to sometimes maybe get used to and be confident and being down going into the third, and just still find a way to get the job done."
