Tim St\u00fctzle Signs Long-Term Extension in Ottawa<\/h2>\n

St\u00fctzle is entering his third season in the NHL. The 20-year-old centre scored 12 goals and 17 assists for 29 points in 53 games in his first season, he followed that up with 22 goals, and 36 assists for 58 points last year.<\/p>\n

The German player played his first season in Ottawa as a left-winger but transitioned to centre last season. His 18:25 average ice time last season was fifth among forwards. His 50.3 Corsi For percentage was fifth on the team among those who played over 20 games. St\u00fctzle was 38.1 per cent in the faceoff circle.<\/p>\n

The Ottawa Senators drafted St\u00fctzle third overall in the 2020 draft from the Mannheim Eagles in the DEL. This was during the virtual 2020 draft, and the team organized for “Jeopardy!” host and University of Ottawa alumni Alex Trebek to announce his selection.<\/p>\n
