The Ottawa Senators will be without their captain for the fourth straight game.
The 25-year-old was deemed doubtful by head coach Travis Green on Sunday after Ottawa’s 3-0 win over the Florida Panthers.
Tkachuk last played on March 30 against the Pittsburgh Penguins and has been out with an upper-body injury since. It is not known exactly how he sustained the injury.
Tkachuk also missed a pair of games with a lower-body injury coming out of the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.
The left winger leads the Senators with 29 goals this season, adding 26 assists in 71 games.
Ottawa is sitting comfortably in the first Eastern Conference wild-card spot with a 42-29-6 record, five points ahead of the Montreal Canadiens, who hold the second wild-card spot.
