Stutzle said Thursday that he has been dealing with a shoulder injury for a year, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle will need another opinion as he has yet to heal. The talented center missed the last seven games of the season. Stutzle ended up with 18 goals, 70 points, 192 shots on goal and 100 hits in 75 appearances this season. He regressed from 2022-23, when he managed 39 goals and 90 points in 78 appearances.

Stutzle (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle will end up having missed the last seven games of the campaign. The 22-year-old has not been cleared for contact yet, though he joined the Senators on their last road trip. He concludes a down year with 18 goals, 70 points, 192 shots on net, 100 hits and a minus-17 rating over 75 appearances. If Stutzle heals up in time, he could still join Germany for the IIHF World Championship.

Stutzle (upper body) skated in a non-contact jersey ahead of Monday's matchup with the Rangers, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's good news that Stutzle traveled with the team for its two-game road trip, the fact that he hasn't been cleared to practice doesn't bode well for him playing versus Boston on Tuesday either. If that's the case, the 22-year-old will end the year having notched 18 goals and 52 assists in 75 games this season. If he can get to 100 percent, it's possible Stutzle could link up with Germany for the 2024 IIHF World Championship.

Stutzle (upper body) won't play Saturday against the Canadiens, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Stutzle (upper body) will not play in Thursday's clash with Tampa Bay, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle will be out of action for his fourth consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. Offensively, the 22-year-old forward has been struggling with just one goal in his last nine outings -- though he has added five helpers over that stretch including four with the man advantage. Shane Pinto figures to remain the first-line center due to Stutzle being on the shelf.

Stutzle (upper body) will miss Tuesday's matchup with Florida but could return against the Lightning on Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle will be out of action for his third consecutive contest due to his lingering upper-body issue but appears to be trending in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, the 22-year-old center was stuck in a five-game goal drought during which he managed 12 shots, two assists and eight hits. In the meantime, Shane Pinto should continue to feature in a first-line role with Brady Tkachuk.

Stutzle (upper body) will not dress Sunday against Washington, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle has now missed the last two games after dressing for the first 75 this season. He has 18 goals and 70 points in those 75 appearances, including 14 over his last 15 games. The team has yet to provide a timeline for Stutzle, but his next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Panthers.

Stutzle (upper body) won't be in the lineup Saturday versus New Jersey, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle will miss his first game of the season. He had 39 goals and 51 assists in 78 games last season, but this year, he has slipped to 18 goals and 70 points through 75 contests. The Senators recalled Bokondji Imama to give them 12 healthy forwards. Look for Ridly Greig to occupy a top-six spot in the lineup due to Stutzle's absence.

Stutzle notched an even-strength goal and added two power-play assists in a 5-3 victory over Edmonton on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Stutzle has compiled four goals and eight helpers over his past 10 outings to give him 68 points through 70 contests this campaign. He only has 18 goals in 2023-24 after scoring a career-high 39 times last season, but he still has a chance to finish above a point-per-game pace for a second straight year.

Stutzle notched three assists, two on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

With the Senators down 2-1 heading into the third period, Stutzle got to work, setting up Ridly Greig and Brady Tkachuk for tallies before helping Tkachuk complete his hat trick in OT. Stutzle extended his point streak to five games with the performance, and over the last 15 contests, he's piled up five goals and 16 points.
