The 21-year-old is coming off of a 90-point season, but triple digits are on the horizon for Ottawa’s golden center.
And for good reason. All anyone could talk about that draft season was Alexis Lafreniere and his exploits in the QMJHL. It was easy to overlook Tim Stützle, who, despite his tremendous play in Germany, was overshadowed by the Canadian scoring star instead.
Stützle kicked off the 2023-24 NHL preseason in style, scoring twice against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 3-2 win Sunday. The victory means nothing in the grand scheme of things, but Stützle already looked in preseason form. If you follow the Sens’ fanbase on social media, you know how much they’ve been hyping up Stützle’s potential for the year; 100 points should easily be in reach for the 21-year-old.
Stützle’s 90-point campaign was, hopefully, the start of bigger things to come for the center. From the offset as a junior-aged player, the skill was so evident. He’s a crafty playmaker with excellent speed, decent strength and a quick release. His ability to pick corners with his wrist shot has carried him far, and he knows it’s a strength.
Stützle’s two-way game has taken big steps forward compared to his junior days when he rarely needed to spend any time in his own zone. His ability to adapt to any roles asked of him makes him such a valuable commodity. And he’s a student of the game that isn’t interested in complacency.
