Tkachuk (leg) was placed on injured reserve by the Senators, per the NHL media site. Considering Tkachuk is expected to be sidelined for at least a month, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him land on injured reserve. Given the number of injuries the club is dealing with, a call-up from AHL Belleville ahead of Saturday's clash with Montreal seams inevitable. Rudolfs Balcers or Filip Chlapik likely top the short list of options.
Does this next sentence follow, given the preceding text?
Tkachuk will not be playing for at least 30 days.

Options are:
i. Yes
ii. It's impossible to say
iii. No
