Stutzle scored a goal on two shots and had one hit in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Canadiens.

Stutzle roofed one over the right shoulder of Sam Montembeault for his third goal in two games. Ottawa's top-line center is looking to rebound from a 2023-24 season when he scored 21 fewer goals than he recorded the previous campaign. The 22-year-old Stutzle has scored on three of his first five shots on goal this season.
