Brady Tkachuk out at least four weeks with wrist injury

Brady Tkachuk is expected to miss a minimum of four weeks with a wrist injury. The team captain sustained the injury during Monday's loss to Nashville and is still being evaluated to determine if surgery is required, a procedure that could extend his absence. Through three games, Tkachuk has recorded three assists, 10 shots on goal, and 10 hits.

Fantasy Impact

This is a devastating blow for fantasy managers, as Tkachuk is one of the premier multi-category producers in the league. His elite contributions in points, shots, and especially hits are nearly impossible to replace. Managers should immediately place him on injured reserve. Drake Batherson is expected to draw into the lineup and will likely see an increased role, making him a priority waiver-wire addition in most formats.
