Tim Stützle had one goal and one assist on seven shots in 20:14 as the Senators beat the Sharks 5-1 on Saturday, October 31. He finished plus-2 with one hit and no power-play goals.

The two-point night in over 20 minutes matches his recent form for a top-line center who averages 0.97 points per game on 2.2 shots and 19:56 a night. Stützle carries second-unit power-play time (3:04 per game, second among all Ottawa skaters) and his underlying play grades 66 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time.

Tim Stützle

Stützle's Saturday line ran just above his recent pace of 0.39 goals and 0.58 assists per game. His seven shots were well over his 2.2-per-game average and he logged 20:14, slightly above his usual 19:56. The process grade of 66 suggests his scoring is sustainable without being elite in volume, and his second-ranked power-play time (3:04 a night) adds 0.36 points per game on the man advantage.

Ottawa has three games remaining this week on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. Stützle is a steady hold in all formats as a first-line center who delivers just under a point per game with enough shots and minutes to stay productive. His 0.5 blocks and 1.4 hits per game add peripheral value in deeper leagues.

What to do

• Hold Stützle as a top-line center who delivers just under a point per game.

• Start him for his three remaining games on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday.

• Expect similar two-shot-per-game volume with occasional upticks like Saturday's seven.
