Story summary

On Monday night, Tim Stützle scored a goal and assisted another as the Ottawa Senators beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1 in an NHL game, extending their winning streak to five out of six games this season. Despite facing significant injuries, including defenceman Nikolas Matinpalo who suffered an "upper-body injury" when he crashed into the boards early in the first period and did not return, the Senators persevered with strong performances from players like Shane Pinto and Stephen Halliday. The team's success is particularly noteworthy given the offseason turmoil that included trading captain Brady Tkachuk to Florida. With key defencemen Jake Sanderson and Artem Zub also out injured, along with forward William Eklund, who will be sidelined for an extended period due to a left ankle injury, the Senators have relied on their depth and timely scoring to maintain their early-season form.
