When the Ottawa Senators take on the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Battle of Ontario, they'll have their captain to lead the way.

The Ottawa Senators are being led by their captain, Brady Tkachuk, as the race for the playoffs heats up post trade deadline.

The link between Tkachuk and the Rangers, however, is not new. In December, a report from the New York Post linked him to New York, prompting a strong response from Senators owner Michael Andlauer, who accused the Rangers of “soft tampering.”
