Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk exited Saturday's 3-0 win over the New York Islanders with an undisclosed issue.

Senators head coach Travis Green said postgame that Tkachuk "wasn't feeling well" and didn't offer any other update, according to The Athletic's Julian McKenzie.

Tkachuk initially left the game after Ryan Pulock's stick appeared to clip him up high in front of the Islanders' bench. He came back to begin the third period but left again after taking a shift and didn't return.

Tkachuk has 22 goals and 59 points in 60 games. He's third on the Senators in scoring.

The 26-year-old missed 20 games earlier in the season after undergoing thumb surgery.

The Senators clinch a playoff spot if the Detroit Red Wings lose in any fashion Saturday against the New Jersey Devils.
