In the NHL, Brady Tkachuk and Sergei Bobrovsky are two of the most iconic names in all of hockey. Bobrovsky has earned his reputation as one of the greatest goalies to grace the ice in the 21st century, winning over 300 career games with a .915 save percentage over his 14 year career, most recently leading the Florida Panthers to an Eastern Conference Championship in 2023.
Brady Tkachuk has also earned his reputation as, along with his brother Matthew, being one of the best agitators in the game of hockey. Tkachuk is in his sixth season, all with the Ottawa Senators, as he is coming off the best season of his career that saw him compile 83 points in 2023.
On Tuesday night, Bobrovsky and the Panthers met Tkachuk and the Senators for a prime time showdown. The matchup quickly lived up to the hype as Bobrovsky and Tkachuk came to blows in the third period.
As Bobrovsky made a tremendous save, Tkachuk kept hitting Bobrovsky with his stick, well after play was stopped by the whistle. Immediately, Bobrovsky showed he was about that action and went after Tkachuk as the two teams came to blows.
