Brady Tkachuk will be out 6-8 weeks for the Ottawa Senators after having surgery on his right thumb, the team announced Thursday.

Shane Pinto and David Perron scored, Claude Giroux had two assists, and Linus Ullmark made 31 saves for the Senators (2-3-0), who had lost three straight. Tim Stutzle and Pinto scored in the shootout and Ullmark stopped both Kraken shooters for Ottawa’s first home win of the season.
