Ottawa Senators rout Panthers 5-1 as booed ex-captain Tkachuk scores in emotional return
The Ottawa Senators beat the Florida Panthers 5-1 at home on the night of October 21. Brady Tkachuk returned to Ottawa for the first time since his June trade and was booed relentlessly by his former fans, but still scored for Florida. The Senators had the last laugh with a blowout win.
Why it matters
A former captain's return to his old barn is always one of the NHL's most dramatic scripts: Tkachuk, traded to Florida this summer, skated into the Canadian Tire Centre as an opponent for the first time — and was met not with applause but with a full night of boos. Fans came for the game; Senators supporters came with an attitude. And the final score gave the home crowd the last laugh.
Full report
The Ottawa Senators thumped the Florida Panthers 5-1 at home on the night of October 21. It was Brady Tkachuk's first game back in Ottawa since his trade to Florida in June.
From puck drop, Senators fans greeted the former captain with constant, overwhelming boos. According to ESPN, Tkachuk embraced the antagonism — at one point egging the crowd on — and scored a goal for the Panthers. But Ottawa's offence exploded, and the 5-1 blowout reduced his goal to a consolation prize.
Tkachuk shrugged off the lopsided loss after the game. The Senators host the New York Rangers on October 24.
