The Tkachuk brothers just can’t seem to catch a break! A few days ago, Brady Tkachuk’s brother, Matthew Tkachuk, took a hit with a lower-body injury, forcing him to miss the final 12:36 of Team USA’s intense 3-1 victory over Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off. The injury gave coach Mike Sullivan no choice but to rest Matthew for the game against Sweden. But now? The Tkachuk family’s injury woes continue, and this time, it’s Brady Tkachuk facing the heat.
In the live game, Brady Tkachuk went full throttle toward the net, crashing into it with some serious force—just like Sportsnet captured in real-time. And then? Uh-oh. Fans held their breath as he was spotted making his way off the ice, sparking instant concern.
Ottawa Reporter Claire Hanna jumped in with the latest update, saying, “Brady Tkachuk just left USA’s bench and went to the locker room. Looked like his left knee hit the goal post and he was in some discomfort. Spoke with a trainer on the bench, took another shift, then left.” And just like that, worry levels skyrocketed!
