Tim Stützle chose the duel between the German international national players in the NHL against Lukas Reichel for his team.
In the 4: 3 success of the Ottawa Senator against Reichel’s Chicago Blackhawks, Stützle scored the winning goal in extra time. The attacker provided the end of the game with a determined individual performance.
Stützle scored the gate with the ice skate, but since he was hindered by his opponent in the campaign, the goal counted. The 23-year-old thus ensured an important victory of the Canadians in the narrow play-off race in the east, while the Blackhawks remain one of the weakest team in the league.
“A big goal from Tommy”
“This is very important,” said Sützles teammate Drake Batherson, who contributed two assists: “It is so tight at the Eastern Conference at the moment. This evening we really needed this victory. A big goal from Timmy.”
Stützle, who plays a strong season, underlined his current top form with his 20th goal in the current season. As the fourth player in the history of the Senators, he managed to achieve at least one scorer point in 13 consecutive games.
