Tim Stützle was the on-ice driver tonight, creating and finishing the chances that steered play toward Ottawa’s end. He had a goal and an assist, fired four shots, and averaged 21.9 minutes of ice time while generating the game’s highest-value chances — his expected goals for (1.71) and four shots backed up how often he wound up with dangerous looks. That sequence of entries, playmaking passes and high-danger attempts kept pressure on the opponent and let Ottawa sustain attack after attack.
