Overview
- Tim Stützle scored two goals and added an assist to lead the Ottawa Senators to a 4-1 victory over the Boston Bruins.
- His first goal came on the power play kill and he scored again 103 seconds later, giving Ottawa an early two-goal swing that set the tone for the game.
- The opening goal was Stützle's 150th NHL regular-season goal, making him the fourth German player to reach that mark.
- Boston was held to one goal as John-Jason Peterka went scoreless and was on the ice for two of Ottawa's goals against, while Jeremy Swayman started in net for the Bruins.
- Ottawa improved to 2-0 to open the season and now faces the Detroit Red Wings on the road, a quick test of whether the Senators can sustain their early momentum.
