Not everyone got the entire 7 days off during the Bye Week as Brady Tkachuk and Anthony Duclair were in St. Louis showcasing their skills against the league's best during NHL All-Star Weekend. Both Sens' All-Stars rejoined their teammates on the ice at practice this morning at Canadian Tire Centre and shared their thoughts about getting back to work after a week away.
"At times before the break, we got away from our game a little bit," said Tkachuk. "We've shown so many great things and improvement throughout this whole year so we need to get back to that hard, physical, simple game that we play."
Duclair, who is looking to build off a solid offensive showing for Team Atlantic on Saturday night, echoed Tkachuk's thoughts and hopes to pick up where the team left off before the break.
"We want to build off that last game against Calgary. We saw that when we play as a team and play the right way, we can beat some good teams," said Duclair. "We all had fun on the break but now it's back to business."
