Brady Tkachuk, Matt Murray Making Season Debuts
3 years agoOttawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk and goaltender Matt Murray will be in the lineup for the first time this season in Thursday's battle with San Jose. Tkachuk, who missed the preseason due to a contract standoff, will replace Tim Stuetzle on the top line, with the German dropping to the third line. Murray's season debut was delayed by an illness. Tkachuk led the Senators with 36 points in 56 outings last season and finished among the league leaders in both hits and shots. Murray starts his second year in Ottawa after having a rough debut season. However, he had a good finish to 2020-21 and should do much better this term.
