The couple unveiled the news on Instagram this morning, accompanied by a picture of a cake adorned with the words "baby Tkachuk" in white icing, signaling their joyous news.
The announcement swiftly circulated across various online platforms, with Senators' fans coming together to celebrate the impending addition to the team's family.
There's a well-known phenomenon in the sports world where athletes often experience a performance boost following positive news or significant events. While this often relates to the birth of a child, it seems Tkachuk may have received his 'dad powers' early, coinciding with his recent accomplishment of scoring his third career hat trick.
On the ice, the Ottawa Senators haven't had the smoothest season. Despite expectations for a serious playoff push, injuries and inconsistent goaltending have plagued their campaign. Adding to their challenges, young star forward Josh Norris is sidelined for the remainder of the season due to shoulder surgery.
Acknowledging these setbacks, the Senators will now focus on utilizing their lottery pick for this season and regrouping for the future. Hopefully, with a fully healthy roster next season, they can put an end to their seven-year playoff drought.
