Strong Seider wins German NHL duel against Stützle

Moritz Seider won the NHL duel between the German national ice hockey players.

The tough defender also won with the Detroit Red Wings against Tim Stützle and the Ottawa Senators 5:2 (1:1, 2:0, 2:1) on Saturday evening, providing two assists and celebrating his fourth win in a row.

For Stützle, who recently assisted three goals against the Washington Capitals, a run of three wins ended.

The Senators took the lead at the Canadian Tire Center through Jake Sanderson (17th), but Shayne Gostisbehere (19th), Joe Veleno (25th/48th), David Perron (35th) and Dylan Larkin (41st) turned around the game. Ridly Greig (49th) scored for the Senators, who had significantly more shots on goal (38:23).

The Red Wings now have four wins from five games, their division rival Ottawa has three from five.

Both teams missed the play-offs last season.
