Monday’s night game between the Panthers and Senators in Ottawa was a family affair.
The game featured Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk playing against his brother, Florida winger Matthew Tkachuk. With the two sons of former NHL veteran Keith Tkachuk squaring off for the first time this season, they had plenty of family members in the stands, including their grandmother, Geraldine—and she was treated to a game that was perhaps a bit too violent or her tastes.
The game was chippy throughout, with multiple penalties issued for roughing and fighting. The Tkachuk brothers were at the center of it all.
