Stutzle (upper body) is poised to play in Thursday's Opening Night clash with Florida.
Stutzle failed to reach the 20-goal mark last season for the first time in three years but still racked up 70 points, including 20 with the man advantage. The 22-year-old center should be capable of a bounce-back campaign that would put him back over that threshold in addition to approaching the 90 points he put up in 2022-23. Even if the Senators struggle as a team, Stutzle and linemates Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux should put up big numbers.
