Stutzle will be a game-time decision against the Predators on Thursday due to lingering knee soreness, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle was involved in a knee-on-knee hit from Montreal's Nick Suzuki on Tuesday but was able to finish the game. Heading into Thursday's matchup, the 20-year-old Stutzle is riding a four-game point streak and could still reach the 20-goal threshold this year if he avoids an extended absence. The Senators will already be without Drake Batherson (illness), so missing Stutzle would severely impact the team's top six.
