His latest feat is a hard one to believe.<\/p>\n

Somehow on Thursday night, Tkachuk got charged with a two-minute minor penalty for slashing — while he was sitting on the bench.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at what happened against the Buffalo Sabres<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Tkachuk hasn’t wanted to deal with the noise right now. He declined his media availability earlier on Thursday.<\/p>\n

But somehow, despite this early and bizarre penalty, things mostly went well the rest of the night for the Senators. They won 4-1 to spoil the Sabres’ first chance to clinch a playoff spot.<\/p>\n

If Tkachuk keeps his vibe going, he might not talk with anyone about this penalty, either.<\/p>\n

At least it came in a win.<\/p>\n

And now Tkachuk can say he found a way for a penalty that likely hasn’t happened very often in the history of hockey.<\/p>\n
