2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tkachuk finally got a taste of the postseason in the 2024-25 season in what was, ironically, his least-productive individual season since 2020-21. The 25-year-old registered 29 goals and 26 assists in 72 regular-season games, a sizable dip from his 74-point campaign from 2023-24. The power forward continued his physical brand of hockey with his sixth consecutive season delivering over 200 hits. The Senators' captain was dangerous on the power play, scoring a career-high 14 goals with the man-advantage. Tkachuk must improve his play at even-strength in order to reach his sky-high potential, but he’s not even in the prime of his career yet. He is a staple on the top line and power play, and will continue to be for at least the duration of his seven-year contract signed in 2021. Tkachuk brings 90-point potential if he can stay healthy and keep his edgy play within the rule book. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a seven-year, $57.5 million contract with the Senators in October of 2021.
Expected to miss 6-8 weeks
Tkachuk underwent surgery Thursday is projected to miss the next 6-8 weeks due to a ligament issue in his right thumb, the team announced Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Tkachuk had three assists in three appearances with Ottawa in 2025-26 before he sustained the injury during Monday's 4-1 loss to Nashville. Based on his current timetable, he might be out until late November or early December. Michael Amadio and David Perron are likely to see an increase in their workload while Tkachuk is unavailable.

Which Tkachuk brother is right for you? Matthew's longer track record might lead to him being taken earlier in most fantasy drafts, but is that fair? Brady, the younger Tkachuk, had 37 goals and 74 points last season, making it the third straight campaign he finished with at least 30 markers. Entering his age-25 campaign, it wouldn't be shocking to see him flirt with the 40-goal milestone and record over 80 points. Compared to Matthew, Brady will get you more shots, roughly double the hits (he's finished with over 240 in each of the past five years while Matthew's career high is 151) and more PIM while the elder brother should lead in plus-minus with the superior Panthers. Ultimately, Brady is a near-perfect substitute for his brother and should be valued as such.
