NHL - Stützle shoots Senators to victory against Penguins
German national ice hockey player Tim Stützle has led the Ottawa Senators to a 5:4 (2:1, 2:1, 0:2) victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins after overtime.
The 21-year-old forward scored the winning goal 70 seconds into overtime. The Senators thus stopped their negative streak of six previous defeats in the North American league.
After Stützle had not scored during this time, the Viersen native now scored his seventh goal of the season. "The last time I tried to tunnel the goalkeeper, I always scored. I should do that more often," said Stützle about his winning goal when he found himself alone in front of Penguins goalkeeper Alex Nedeljkovic after a pass from Drake Batherson. With just 24 points, the Senators remain the weakest team in the Eastern Conference.
