Tim Stützle and the Ottawa Senators have successfully started the new NHL season. The German youngster even scored in the win against Tampa Bay.
The Senators celebrated a 5-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday evening, it was their second win in the third game. It was only on Saturday (October 14, 2023) that the Canadians achieved the same result against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Second goal of the season for Stützle
Stützle scored his second goal of the season against Tampa; the striker hit an empty net in the final phase. With a good 22 minutes, he got the most ice time of all Senators attackers. Last season, Ottawa played no role in the fight for the play-offs.
“We have already taken a lot of beating as a team,” said Senators coach DJ Smith: “As young players, they have to develop and have often had to lose. We know how difficult it is to win here and that we fight for every inch must.”
Once again, Stützle’s teammate Brady Tkachuk (24) stood out, scoring twice as on Saturday and also contributing an assist.
