Stutzle in lineup vs. Canucks following 3-game absence

Ottawa Senators rookie Tim Stutzle says he'll return to the lineup Monday against the Vancouver Canucks after missing the club's previous three games with an undisclosed injury, according to TSN's Brent Wallace.

Stutzle, 19, has tallied one goal in two games this season after the Senators selected him with the third pick in the 2020 draft.

The 6-foot-1 German will start the game on a line with Connor Brown and Chris Tierney, head coach D.J. Smith said, according to TSN 1020.

Ottawa has lost four straight contests and sits last in the North division entering Monday's game.
