What happened: Brady Tkachuk called the chance to play with his brother a whole new experience. He said he is excited to go out with the group on opening night.

Why it matters: The debut puts the brothers in the same NHL lineup after the June trade from the Senators. It gives Florida a new opening-night look with both brothers available.

What to watch: Watch opening-night line combinations to see where the brothers slot. Early chemistry will set the tone for Florida's start.
